E2 has been serving the Beaumont Leys community in Leicester since 2005. Our mission is to empower Beaumont Leys through Education, support and community action, addressing the challenges faced by one of the UK’s most deprived areas. Home Farm, where we are based, falls within the 1% most deprived areas in the country, making our work vital for local residents.

Since 2017, we have operated from a former housing office at Home Farm, Beaumont Leys, which we transformed into a vibrant community hub and training centre. This facility allows us to deliver educational and community services in partnership with organisations like De Montfort University. Being located in such a deprived area means we are uniquely positioned to address local needs and provide essential support.

We are deeply grateful to the UK government for their generous funding and support, which enabled a major refurbishment of our centre. This project has significantly improved our facilities and services, allowing us to better serve the community. After months of dedicated work, the renovations were completed in January 2024, representing a key step forward in creating a more welcoming and effective space for young people and service users in Beaumont Leys.
