“It has been a joy to witness how a group of pupils, who were at risk of becoming increasingly disengaged with school, found a new avenue for creativity and personal development via the more practical way of learning that the Programme offers. There has been a notable difference in terms of improved attendance and higher morale and engagement in the classroom.”
Launched in 2020, we’ve reached over 8000 young people to date. Our reach is growing year on year and in 2025/26, we are aiming to support 329 Inspiring Futures teams, which requires over £1m in funding. It costs £3,300 to deliver Inspiring Futures in one school and we are seeking support to extend the programme to more schools across the UK.

Young people in underserved communities have the greatest barriers to opportunities that build skills and aspirations. Inspiring Futures tackles this gap, achieving social mobility by helping young people prepare for brighter futures.
“Inspiring Futures sits at the heart of our Transforming Futures Strategy — turning ambition into opportunity for young people who face the greatest barriers.”
