What We Do
Our purpose is to empower young individuals from underserved communities, equipping them with the skills they need to aspire for and achieve their dreams.
We give students access to unique opportunities, such as work-taster days and job shadowing, giving them a clearer understanding of their career options.
We raise aspirations and future goals, with students feeling more motivated to pursue higher education or vocational training.
The cost of youth unemployment is forecast to be £2.5 billion and is on track to be £14.4bn over the next seven years (The Prince’s Trust, 2024)
72% of students from underserved communities have low aspirations. This demographic are also amongst the highest in youth suicide (R Goto, 2021).
Amongst young people the aspiration to have ‘an interesting job’ declined 22% between the ages of 14-17 (Calder and Cope, 2020).

HOW OUR PROGRAMME WORKS
Schools form cohorts of 30 students who meet our eligibility criteria and have the option to create multiple cohorts if required.
We have established a strategic approach to student selection, ensuring that we reach the students who will benefit most.
Our programme is made up of three distinct modules.
Schools have the flexibility to either complete the full Programme or select specific modules tailored to the needs of each cohort.
Schools have the option to purchase the full Programme or to pay for individual modules as needed.
Schools are only required to cover the direct costs associated with programme delivery.
We recognise our responsibility and reinforce our commitment to creating environments where safety and wellbeing are prioritised by the due diligence we carry out, fostering a culture where staff and volunteers share this commitment.
Our Safeguarding Framework features a comprehensive safeguarding policy alongside detailed procedures that outline our responsibilities and strategies for ensuring the safety of everyone under our care.
