Our impact | Love Local Jobs Foundation

Our impact and success

Every day our aim is to give young people a positive outlook on their future and to help equip them with the tools and experiences that will help them succeed. Thanks to our amazing partners and supporters we have been able to support and empower thousands of local young people.

Over the last eight years, the Love Local Jobs Foundation has worked with 30,189 young people and 1,231 Business volunteers.

Every programme we deliver is evaluated via a mix of qualitative and quantitative feedback from the young people, educational institutions, and business volunteers taking part. We use these programme insights to continually develop and refine our model of delivery and to help ensure the most positive and sustainable impacts for everyone involved.
