OUR VISION

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 offer financial assistance and access to a range of support services designed to 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.

"I had no idea what I wanted to do, but Mr Fernie helped me get onto an engineering course and get a placement… I've really got to thank Mr Fernie for that, because he made me stand out. I will always look back at school and think about what he did for us."
