The earlier we can support a child, the greater impact this will have on their future - reducing the risk of exclusion later in their life.
TLG trains volunteers as Behaviour Coaches to go into schools and support primary-aged children through issues which are often outside their control, such as family breakdown and bullying.
We are committed to providing a programme so that all children make the most of their learning. To ensure that our programmes are all inclusive, we welcome interest and participation in Early Intervention from schools, children, parents and carers, of all faiths and none.
The TLG Early Intervention programme is supported by the Cabinet Office and Nesta.
TLG want to invest in a child's future and help build strong connections between families and schools. A child who is unhappy at school is given a Behaviour Coach to work on a series of ‘timeout projects’. These projects give a child space and time to think about their behaviour and get the support they need.

1 CHILD
Each child is given time and individual attention to help them identify how cope and catch up on missed learning.
1 HOUR
At least one hour a week ensures consistent support through creative sessions. Many volunteers also develop relationships with families who may be needing extra support too.
Building upon our past experience and success, our vision is to bring the opportunity of TLG to children and young people in every part of the UK.
We are opening up to three new Education Centres and many more Early Intervention Centres each year. Each centre is delivered in partnership with a local church partner to reflect the community in which they are based and ensure that they bring the best possible support to children, young people and their families. Each of our TLG Education Centres has its own website:
| Bolton | Bradford | Central Birmingham | Manchester |
| Newcastle | North Birmingham | Nottingham | Reading |
| South East Birmingham | Wakefield | Wembley | West London |
TLG The Education Charity is a registered charity in England & Wales. Registered Charity no 1074114
