HOUNSLOW'S PROMISE 

Hounslows Promise delivers vital support for young people and their community, including providing devices and connectivity for students in Hounslow who would otherwise be without, and a community mentoring programme. We also plan to pilot an innovative leadership and employment programme for young people.
