We have a wonderful Board of Trustees and during National Trustee’s Week, meet our Chair, Sean Sutcliffe.

Start your Christmas celebrations by supporting some of Reading’s most vulnerable people and getting your ticket for our magical Carols by Candlelight.

Building resilience to move on in life and enjoy living, feeling confident and happy, is something we strive daily to achieve with all our clients at Launchpad 135, our work and life skills centre.

We are delighted to announce a new partnership with Marks & Spencer Simply Food, on London Road in Woodley.

People renting property in the Reading area are feeling vulnerable; many face homelessness due to landlords issuing Section 21 no fault eviction notices or are struggling on this cost-of-living crisis.

Launchpad was one of five local charities to benefit from funds raised at the annual Reading Legal Walk, which this year raised more than £12,100.

The number of homeless people is climbing in the UK, and the risk of becoming homeless is even greater if you are  a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Our work and life skills centre is a place where people can try new things, build their confidence and self esteem, take on small challenges and make friends.

Earlier this month our friends at Frasers Property UK in Reading held their own Big Sleep Out to raise funds for Launchpad.

Homewards is a new programme launched by Prince William which hopes to end homelessness. What does it mean for Launchpad?
