02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

The foundation’s vision is for every young person, regardless of their background or circumstances, to have access to support, training and work opportunities in order to pursue their career and reach their full potential. We primarily offer financial assistance to allow access to training, development and workplace placements designed to enable and empower young people at this critical stage in their lives. We also work with schools and employers to help increase awareness around youth ‘employability’ and find new ways to facilitate this. We have recently formed a partnership with DYW Tayside and Fife to help the above processes, this allows teachers and staff working with young people to identify needs and apply to a locally managed fund to request financial support. We hope that this partnership will allow us to identify areas we can focus on, identify potential partners and develop these partnerships
