Our impact
Change you can trace.
We only publish figures we can verify. Where we're still measuring, we show exactly how — so you can hold us to it.

Outcomes framework
The outcomes we work towards
Confidence
Young people feel more able to speak up, try new things and handle setbacks.
Skills
Growth in communication, teamwork, digital and enterprise skills.
Aspiration
Clearer goals and next steps in education, training or work.
Connection

Highlights
What we've been doing
Impact reports
Our first impact report will be published here. Funders and commissioners can request our evaluation framework now.
Case studies & testimonials
We'll share stories from young people, families and partners — only with their permission, and anonymised where needed.
Our reporting commitments
Under our Strategic Plan 2027–2036 we'll publish an annual impact report, report outputs separately from outcomes, use baseline and follow-up measures without claiming more than the evidence supports, and review findings with young people and partners.
