Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the charity, press releases, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the charity claims or interviewing its management. Most of your text is completely unreferenced, including most of the supposed core programme, graduate programme and most of the claimed supporters. The text also fails to give important information related to notability such as its income, expenditure or number of staff
 * More to the point, it was written in a highly promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. :*Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: delivering dynamic and cost-effective peer-to-peer mentoring. develop key 21st century core skills...] empowers and inspires participants, developing confidence and self-esteem and instilling belief in their abilities and what they can achieve...&mdash; and so on
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. that's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to eg Sky TV
 * You have unsourced glowing reviews from anonymous "teachers", organisations don't need reviews, let alone finger-down-throat unattributed nonsense like that.
 * You have another (unsourced) list of alleged "successes" but without making it clear what independent research, if any, proves that success was due to the charity and not other reasons, such as good teaching


 * the charity were describing their history and backgroud is interesting phrasing, you should not be editing on behalf of an organisation. If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. In particular, if you work directly or indirectly for the company, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the company you are writing about, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:     . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.
