Gilead Sciences
Our partnership with Gilead Sciences
Gilead Sciences is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes innovative therapeutics in areas of unmet medical need. The company’s mission is to advance the care of patients suffering from life-threatening diseases worldwide.
Gilead Sciences and Street League’s partnership began in 2019, launching Street Leagues West London academy near Gilead Sciences London HQ. Based in Hayes and Harlington, Street League aims to engage 84 young people on our academies each year, with a target of moving 50 young people into employment, education or training.
Gilead Sciences staff support young people with volunteering, including Mock Interview and CV workshop and sports sessions at our academy.
"Funding and support from Gilead have allowed Street League to create a support system for young people, of all backgrounds and abilities, across West London. We have built links with local businesses and other community groups to strengthen our reach and support those who need it most. With the resources provided to us through Gilead's funding we have been able to maintain and even enhance our services to our young people throughout the Coronavirus Pandemic."
