Invest in people-powered system change.
We partner with purpose-driven funders who want to create real and lasting impact. Our focus is on supporting young people, particularly those from underrepresented and underserved communities across the North West, into high-value careers in digital, creative and tech industries.
We do this through co-designed, industry-led programmes that break down systemic barriers and build confidence, improve mental wellbeing, develop new skills and pave pathways to meaningful work.
Our guiding STAR:
Everything we do is grounded in our STAR principles, a framework that ensures every programme, partnership and investment is targeted, inclusive, and impactful.
S – Seek Untapped Talent
We proactively reach and empower young people who are too often excluded from opportunity, those who are not in education, employment or training, or those facing intersecting barriers. Our recruitment is embedded in grassroots networks, ensuring no one is left behind.
T – Transform Learning Experiences
We co-design every programme with young people and industry experts to make learning real, relevant and experiential. Whether through live social impact creating briefs, expert-led workshops or peer collaboration, all our programmes are built around engagement, confidence building and action.
A – Align with Partners
We work hand-in-hand with funders, employers, educators and government partners to create programmes that respond to real-world needs. This alignment means investment goes further, supporting scalable, replicable models that solve current challenges and build long-term systems change.
R – Realise Impact
We measure what matters, progression into secure, meaningful, high-value employment as well as increased confidence, reduced inequality and the community ripple effect that happens as a result of our work. Our data-driven insights and real-life examples of transformational change, demonstrate tangible return on investment and social value.
Changing lives and transforming businesses. We’re not just creating opportunities, we’re bridging the gap between ambition and achievement.
