How can you get involved
Through our partnership with the EY Foundation, we work closely to onboard 20 young people across the two programmes per academic year.
During 2024 we supported 20 young people through the Beyond Your Limits and Your Futures Programme, take a look at the impact here.
In 2025, the two programmes will run Easter and June/July - this requires many volunteers!

Volunteering on these programmes is both impactful and rewarding, you really get to know the young people, watch them grow and become the role models they need to take the next step, whether that be into further education, apprenticeships, internships or employment.
We require a number of volunteers:
- Insight speakers: Share your career journey, any challenges/barriers you faced and overcome, top tips!
- Mock interview panellists: Join us to be part of a informal mock interview panel.
- Dragons Den Challenge Panellist: Be part of an exciting panel to judge the young people on their Dragons Den proposal!
