We develop the skills that young people need, help them overcome the challenges they face and facilitate employability activities to broaden their horizons and provide experience of the workplace.

Support us

Help us to reach the young people who need us most.

Our FutureMe programme works with young people who face challenges on their path to success to get them ready for the world of work. Our coaches are based in schools in London, Nottingham and Kent.

The Making Strides programme works with young adults in Hounslow, Islington, Tower Hamlets, Birmingham and Sandwell who have mild to moderate learning disabilities with the aim of supporting them into sustainable paid employment.

Our Future Leaders programme works with Black students in Alternative Provision schools in West London for two years, to support them into employment.

“I wish we could have ThinkForward in every school in Nottingham. They offer a really unique combination of long-term support to students by enabling them to have better and more successful experiences at school and crucially get experience of the world of work. ThinkForward has made a big impact and I’m looking forward to seeing more of our young people have brighter futures thanks to their work.”

Alex Norris, MP for Nottingham North
