This week the ReachOut! Academy welcomed a visit from Siobhan Benita, who is running in the 2012 London Mayoral election. Siobhan’s visit comes as part of her efforts to get up close to the community action projects that are taking place all over London. Having visited some young women’s projects, she chose ReachOut! as an example of community projects aimed at young men.
Siobhan was shown around the project, which runs once a week in Hackney and offers young people, aged 11-16 after school academic mentoring, support and sports activities. After learning more about the aims of the project and the values of ReachOut!, Siobhan chatted to some of the boys during their English and maths mentoring session.
She said, ‘The staff, mentors and boys were all fantastic' and kindly wrote a news piece on her campaign site for us.
