THANK YOU to all our funding partners in 2023

Well, what an incredible year it’s been. As we approach Christmas and the end of 2023 I want to take a moment to reflect on our achievements over the last 12 months.

This year our programmes have supported over 615 students! Empowering each of them to believe in themselves and achieve their potential. These students have received over 2,460 personalised coaching sessions, delivered by this amazing and committed community of 220 coaches!

In addition to one-to-one coaching sessions, with the support of these Coaches and Trip Day Volunteers, we've run an amazing 64 immersive trip days for students. Allowing each student to step away from the classroom and Into The Wild for outdoor adventures! And then into the World of Work to consider their future career aspirations and opportunities.

The Yes Futures team would like a say a huge THANK YOU for everyone's support over the last 12 months. And some other, rather important people, would also like to say to little something, check out the video below...

We particularly wanted to say a huge thank you to all our funding partners who have enabled us to continue delivering our award-winning programmes in partnership with schools across London and the South East.
