Alongside headline figures and programme highlights, we dive into the actions we’ve taken towards unlocking potential for both young people and employers, in line with our ambition to ensure that all 2+ million young people eligible for free school meals (FSM) in the UK have equitable opportunities to succeed in the workplace.
We also hear directly from the young people, employers and supporters about the impact our work has had on them:
I learnt how to express my ideas clearly and confidently, whether it was pitching my thoughts in group discussions or networking with industry professionals, I discovered my voice and the power it holds.
I did not think that my experience – at my age – would be relevant to a younger audience. However, I found that it was well received and personally rewarding.
Taking part in the programme is a really rewarding feeling, and you get to understand the tangible impact, which is so valuable.
As we reflect on a year of impact, hear directly from some of our brilliant young people about the ways they’ve supported and influenced our work:
