Developing young people

Young volunteers

On placement or in our development cohort, active this period.

1

At risk, engaged

Young person at risk of becoming NEET, supported this period.

£100,581

Development value

Combines pro-rated wellbeing value across all 29 young volunteers with the lifetime NEET-avoidance value for the one at-risk young person supported — not an even per-head figure.

What sponsoring a young person delivers

16–18 · Work placement

Off the NEET list, into work-ready

Referred to us at risk of becoming NEET, this young person completed a structured placement, built a portfolio of digital skills, and moved on into further training.

18–21 · Volunteer development

A peer mentor, multiplying the impact

Started out as a participant, then trained as a peer volunteer — going on to support dozens of local people with device set-up and basic skills.

17–19 · Digital skills trainee

Confidence that reaches a whole session

Built confidence through our basic skills programme, then began helping run outreach sessions — supporting older adults and newcomers to get online at library drop-ins.

Illustrative examples based on typical outcomes from our young people's programme — composites, not individual case studies.
