Our impact
We are here because we believe that every child deserves to feel loved, be safe and know they have hope and a future. Looking into the impact we are having across the UK helps us to see the crucial difference we are making, as well as showing the areas we can grow to support even more children. Achieving measurable and meaningful impact is a core goal for us, and we are continuing to grow our research in order to inspire everyone about the lives that are being transformed!
Check out our 2022 Impact Report in this short video!
In 2022, we...
In 2014, we had a total of 38 church partnerships, helping 360 children per year. Now in 2023, we have 226 churches partnering with TLG - reaching thousands of children, young people and their families across the UK each year!
Over 1,500 TLG volunteers have been helping to spread hope and a future to children who need it most, and in 2022 1,108 children and families members connected into the wider support of their local church through TLG programmes.
But we are still looking to support more children! Could your church join with us to share in the belief that every child deserves a hope and a future?
2022 was a busy year! We also...
Trained over 400 people!
Our dedicated Therapeutic Support team trained over 400 people to spot and respond to the signs of emotional distress in young people through TLG's Emotional First Aid and The Emotional Rollercoaster courses. During 2022, we also developed our therapeutic resources and partnered with Safe Families to run training events.
The past few years have highlighted just how important emotional wellbeing is to children's growth and development. At the core of all of TLG's programmes is a vital understanding of trauma-awareness and the importance of journeying with struggling children towards better emotional wellbeing. Our Therapeutic Support team help us do this!
Released 'A Better Alternative'
We released a new briefing paper in 2022, titled: No student in unregistered Alternative Provision: How and Why?
We know that every child deserves a high-quality education in an environment that is fully equipped to meet their needs and held to account accordingly. At the core of this paper’s recommendations is a call for the law to be changed to compel every Alternative Provision provider – of whatever size – to be registered.

But that's not all! Here are some deeper insights into our impact.
As a result of being on the Early Intervention programme, 84% of children reported feeling more confident in themselves.
We're seeing significant improvements in emotional wellbeing, with 97% of children saying they are more hopeful about their future after starting one-to-one coaching.
Across all of our Education Centres, 91% of young people made expected or better than expected progress in English and Maths.
The biggest impact though, comes through the inspiring stories of lives transformed for good! Here are three stories of children and families supported through TLG, who have found incredible hope. Prepare to be encouraged!
