What We Are About
There are an increasing number of disaffected children and also an increasing number of dysfunctional families. In order to reduce the long term effects of this trend it is important that action is taken to enable the young persons to possibly achieve their potential. The DFES states that 200,000 children are seriously under performing and probably excluded from mainstream education. This is the group that FEAST is set up to assist. The purpose is to turn potential long term liabilities into assets that will improve the quality of life of the individual, their family and the community as a whole.

FEAST in Brent

Over the 5 years over 1000 pupils (referred and self referred) have been successfully supported improving considerably their uptake of education and self development.

FEAST’s staff are a complementary part of each school; they function as an important part of the team. The organisation is rightly perceived as a complementary component of Brent’s LEA and acts as such. This is the basis of this project.
