Our impact

Our programmes build money confidence and essential life skills, helping thousands of young people each year develop resilience, teamwork, problem-solving and financial capability. The impact is clear: young people show measurable growth in confidence, life readiness and opportunity, especially those facing disadvantage. They leave better equipped and more employable than their peers.

Our research

We believe in learning by doing – and improving by knowing. That’s why we gather insight from young people, educators, volunteers and independent evaluators to strengthen our programmes, demonstrate what works and drive long-term change across education and skills. This evidence also helps us champion what young people need to succeed and call for a system that better prepares them for work and life.

Shaping policy

By chairing the APPG on Financial Education and running the Financial Education Forum, we unite key voices to drive access, inclusion and ambition across England and Wales. We also amplify young people’s voices, because they deserve a say in shaping the systems that shape their future.

“I remember starting my Young Enterprise company with my schoolmates, sitting in that classroom planning, or standing on that market stall selling our products,” recalls Sufian. “I remember clearly thinking, my family’s days of struggling are over because I am going to make something of myself… I felt like I could take over the world.”

“Young Enterprise was really fun for me and my schoolmates because it took us away from the traditional academic stuff and allowed us to learn how business works,” Steph explains. Young Enterprise taught Steph that with hard work, talent, grit and a bit of luck, anyone could rise to the top.
