GIPSIL works with children, young people, and families in the most disadvantaged communities in Leeds and Wakefield to provide them with the support and resources they need to thrive.
At GIPSIL, we believe that community is the foundation of success. We are proud to lead four consortiums, Our Way Leeds, Elevate, CHP and Engage. Each consortium addresses different vulnerable issues in Leeds and supports the community with programs designed to uplift and empower individuals who may be struggling. We strive to create an inclusive environment where everybody feels valued and heard.
We provide a range of tailored services to uplift vulnerable individuals. From housing assistance to mental health support and youth engagement programs, we’re here to make a positive difference in your life. Join us as we advocate, counsel, and empower for a stronger, more inclusive community.
We offer a range of training courses and expert advice for the third sector and construction industry. From online courses to in-person trainings, we can tailor it to your needs.
We provide counselling and support services to help young people and families overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
We are dedicated to reducing homelessness and supporting individuals in gaining key skills to improve their employability.
We advocate for the rights and needs of children, minorities, domestic violence victims and neurodivergent individuals and work to raise awareness about the challenges they face.
Based in East Leeds, GIPSIL is dedicated to providing support to those in deprived areas across West Yorkshire. Our team works closely with local schools and the council to ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive. We offer a range of programs and support services aimed at improving the overall well-being of the community.
