" Hating people because of their colour is wrong. And it doesn’t matter which colour does the hating, it’s just plain wrong"

Guiding Light Leads was established on two principles: the high percentage of black persons in prisons across the country and the low representation of young black people in higher education.
​
It is well established that when students are not given equal opportunities while in education, their outcomes are largely affected, leading to entry level jobs over a lifetime or incarceration and a criminal record, which affects employment opportunities.
​
Our aim is to equip public services (schools and police) with practical skills to overcome racial disparity in education and the criminal justice system.
​
We empower you using in-depth, interactive and reflective programmes that get right to the heart of the matter.
​
​
Our programmes address historical misunderstandings between races with the ultimate goal of changing our concept of ‘the other’ and achieving a better understanding of self.
Only through open and honest conversations can we begin to regard each other as equal and therefore entitled to equal opportunities. So let’s start talking!
