About Us:

We have been designing and delivering engaging ways for employers and young people to come together for over 25 years. We work as the single point of contact between schools/colleges and businesses to deliver meaningful, impactful programmes that inspire young people.

Each year we work with over 12,000 young people to deliver a wide range of initiatives designed to build confidence, raise aspirations and help them to successfully prepare to enter the world of work.

As a charity, we generate our own funding. We do this by developing and maintaining working partnerships with businesses, organisations and trusts to support work-related skills development in young people. Students directly benefit from the programmes and initiatives we provide as a result of the funding we raise.

In our 25 years experience, we have seen the effects, first-hand, of the ever increasing pressures put on school budgets and academic performance. Whilst we develop and adapt our innovative programmes we have had to generate more funding to make sure that young people don't miss out on the guidance and experiences, that perhaps schools are unable to focus on as much as they used to.

We wish to continue offering these opportunities to young people at vital decision-making stages, to successfully prepare them for the ever-changing world of work. Without funding we simply can't make the proven, positive impact we do and so we would like to urge all of our business volunteers, partners, contacts and those with a passion in preparing and inspiring young people for the world of work to support our cause through the West Berkshire Lottery scheme.

Thank you for your support and good luck!
