The Need

Ufton Adventure will provide a secluded and rural environment yet it is within 10 miles of Reading, Basingstoke and Newbury, each with areas of significant social and economic need.

• Parts of South Reading are within the 5% most needy areas for education, skills and training in England (Indices of Deprivation 2007)
• Three Whitley wards are within the 5% highest areas in England for crime and disorder with a further 6 being in the 10% most deprived (Indices of Deprivation 2007)
• In 2010 only 0.7% (2 pupils) from South Reading went onto higher education compared to 55% for Reading as a whole. (Source Connexions 2010)
• Second and third generation unemployment is developing a dependency culture of low aspiration and hope.
