LEVEL UP: EMPOWERING YOUNG MINDS

The Level Up Programme, launched in 2023 by Find Your Feet CIC, empowers vulnerable 16-25-year-olds in Lambeth through "A Summer of Self-Discovery." Participants develop essential skills, confidence, and independence through workshops on entrepreneurship, financial literacy, career development, and wellbeing.

Partnering with organisations like HSBC and NBCUniversal, the programme provides access to internships, networking, and life skills, creating a transformative journey that helps young people unlock their potential and achieve their goals.

EMPOWERING YOUNG PEOPLE

THROUGH SELF-DISCOVERY

KEY
OBJECTIVES

Empower future leaders: Equip participants with entrepreneurial, financial, and career skills to build confidence and self-reliance.

Support holistic development: Promote mental health, resilience, and independence through tailored workshops and activities.

Foster healthier lifestyles: Encourage fitness, nutrition, and practical life skills for sustainable, independent living.

WHY IT
MATTERS

In a world where vulnerable young people face significant challenges, it’s essential to create opportunities that nurture confidence, resilience, and independence. Many of these individuals lack access to the resources and support they need to unlock their potential and transition successfully into adulthood.

The Level Up Programme is designed to bridge this gap by providing essential skills in entrepreneurship, career development, and financial literacy, empowering participants to navigate their futures with clarity and purpose.

WHAT WE ARE OFFERING

Entrepreneurship and career workshops: Hustle Smart and Kickstart Your Career sessions to build entrepreneurial skills, personal branding, and career strategies.

Financial literacy: HSBC’s Money Masterclass, teaching participants how to manage finances, increase earnings, and save smartly.

Health and wellbeing: Sessions on resilience, fitness, nutrition, and cooking to foster independence and support care leavers.

The programme significantly improved participants' self-confidence, communication, and teamwork skills. After the programme:

96%

of participants reported increased confidence.

Many secured internships or started businesses.

60%

expressed excitement for their future.

Participants celebrated their achievements by showcasing their skills

MAKIAH'S STORY_

One of the most notable transformations was Makiah, initially unemployed and pending trial. Through consistent attendance and engagement with our sessions, he not only grew in confidence but applied for an internship with NBCUniversal, demonstrating the transformative power of targeted support.

Our aim is to expand the reach of the Level Up Programme, based on its success in Lambeth. We are actively pursuing additional funding to broaden our impact and empower more young people across London.

We believe the Level Up Programme can have a profound impact by providing a positive, empowering space for vulnerable young people. It’s an opportunity to break down barriers, build confidence, and equip participants with the skills and support they need to succeed. Together with leading organisations and industry professionals, we’re helping young people thrive, unlock their potential, and shape a brighter future.
