Supporting the next generation is vital to building strong, thriving communities – and getting started early is key to helping young people unlock their potential.
Positive Footprints aims to open up the world of work for children and young people, building resilience and developing employability skills. We’re proud to partner with Positive Footprints, funding their Raising Aspirations programme within every primary school across our communities.
In 2024/25, 160 children and young people across 4 schools benefited from 48 hours of careers-led learning, generating £32,505.60 in social value.
Thanks to our five-year partnership, 1,875 children and young people have taken part in engaging, empowering programmes designed to raise aspirations, build confidence, and enable young people to explore the world of work.
Together, we’ve helped deliver 420 hours of careers-led learning, focusing on essential life skills, aspirations and future careers and generating £329,284.80 in social value.
In addition to funding the Raising Aspirations Programme, we attend Career Carousel events. The most recent event, at Fazakerley Primary School, over 60 local pupils met professionals from a wide range of industries and discovered exciting opportunities for the future.
We’re proud to continue our partnership with Positive Footprints again this year, with a shared ambition to keep shaping brighter futures for young people.
