Our Work
We at Reach Dem UK, recognises the need to build bridges across the generation gap, by identifying standards and values from previous generations that once instituted will be of benefit to the present generation.
Without this development, the creation of platforms for effective outreach to our marginalised young people will be created in vain. We do believe the adage that “it takes a village to raise a child”. therefore, it follows that the old need the young and the young need the old in order for society to work well for the good of all its diverse communities.
