Whilst at home in the UK we are based in South Leeds, and work on the estates daily, walking with individuals though the challenges of their lives - high un-employment, high levels of domestic violence, substance misuse, low self esteem and minimal aspirations.As a project Phocus has seen amazing results, increased confidence, better educational choices, apprentiships, university, to name just a few. Our local estates are not easy places to live, but in time I believe that transformation is possible, this will come from the inside out, but it must begin from the outside in. It is fundamental that our kids believe that the are well worth investing in; that they too have much to give."I learnt that happiness isnt something that can be switch on...it is a feeling that you are not on you own & that you are an individually special & cared for person" (Male, 17)."It changed my life. I used to have panic attacks all the time before I went, now I dont.  I have gone back to school & control my anger better" (Male, 15).By sponsoring Phocus as a project you will without question be playing a key part in positively transforming peoples lives.  Thank you.   Registered charity number : 1097720
