Our education and social inclusion programmes inspire the current generation to learn, develop new skills, increase confidence and where appropriate return to education, training or employment. Below are just some of the young people we've helped to build their positive future.
MIA'S STORY

She moved to the HITZ programme, following the completion of our Engage programme, where with support, she thrived socially and studied to become the most successful participant academically that the Foundation has ever seen. Her success was subsequently recognised as she reached the finals of the Premiership HITZ awards for the Academic Achiever award.
