There are few things we like more than welcoming new schools and new sponsor businesses onto the Dare to Dream programme, and we were delighted to do just that in April.
As the programme continues to grow and reach further afield, we were thrilled to partner up the Year 9s at Oxted School in Surrey with the fantastic global engineering and professional services firm, WSP, both new to the programme.
Likewise, we're so pleased to have Carpenter Box as a sponsor once again and they've teamed up with Davison High School, a brilliant school in Worthing.
It's still early days, but the level of enthusiasm shown for the opportunities the programme presents and buy in to what's possible has been a real pleasure for us as a team to be a part of!
We'd like to say an enormous thank you to everyone at Sussex Community Foundation for all their support and their generosity in awarding us not one, but two grants this year.
The additional funds really do have a huge impact on how we deliver the Dare to Dream programme and they enable us to reach more and more young people help connect them to a future they're excited about!
If you'd like to make a donation to our JustGiving page, however big or small, you'll be helping us reach and impact more young people, empowering them to create phenomenal futures and reach their full potential!
How great is this👇
An anonymous note from a student slipped into the front pocket of Jack's rucksack after witnessing him in action... There's not much that needs to be said - powerful, touching and very much appreciated ❤️
The partnership between Willingdon Community School and Paxton Access is one we're really proud of and one we've enjoyed seeing grow over the years 🙌
Have a watch and a listen to the incredible impact it's had on the now Year 10 students as told by the school's wonderful Headteacher...
This cohort have just completed their second year of Dare to Dream, having gone through the Year 9 programme last year, and all with the same mentor group they had previously!
It's a fantastic example of what we're aiming to achieve more of - continued, sustained, joined-up journeys of support and relationships that genuinely make a difference for local young people.
👉 Can you help us grow this impact?
To bring Dare to Dream to even more students, we need the support of more local businesses and funders.
If you know a values-led organisation who would love to help us inspire the next generation, please send us their details via the link below.
With your support, we can give thousands more young people the chance to believe in themselves and connect with a future they’re excited about.
To all the mentors and everyone else behind the scenes that work so hard to make the Dare to Dream programme so impactful, thank you for everything you do.
And of course, a big thank you to everyone who continues to support us and share our messages!
We're looking forward to what's to come in the remainer of the academic year.
