What's happening at GAP Education

Genuine updates on our progress as we develop the charity and our first programme.

  • Our website is live

    Welcome to GAP Education. This website explains why we exist, the programmes we are developing and how you can help shape them. We will post updates here as we reach each milestone.

  • Our founding trustees

    Four founding trustees have agreed to oversee GAP Education's development: Shaheen Akhtar (Chair), Abdul Ghafoor Ajaib (Deputy Chair), Mohammed Hakeem (Treasurer) and Gulnaz Akhtar (Safeguarding Trustee Lead). Meet the board.

  • Why we are starting with families

    Parents and carers are the first and most important source of support in a child's life. By starting with GAP Families, we can listen to families before we design support for young people, and make sure everything we build responds to what Bradford families actually need. Read about GAP Families.

  • Help shape GAP Families

    We are looking for parents and carers who would like to share their experiences and ideas as we design Chai & Chat and our six-week parent course. Email hello@gapeducation.org.uk to register your interest. Registering interest is not enrolment on a programme.
