• Promise Foundation is a charitable company whose mission is to promote the potential of young people, offering them direction and broadening their horizons.
• It will achieve this through a mentoring scheme that builds and shapes the lives of secondary school children, alongside career mentoring by local professionals.
• The mentoring programme will raise young people’s aspirations by giving them the opportunity to explore and identify the work experience or employment that best suits them.
• It aims to foster self-confidence and to support young people at a time in their lives when the decisions they take might have long-term effects on their future.
• Promise Foundation will increase social mobility by building links between young people and the broader community, including the jobs market.
