Right To Succeed

At the #JoinedUpSummit, our Programme Director, Stephanie O'Keeffe, presented the transformative journey of North Birkenhead's Cradle to Career programme. Joined by our partners, Magenta Living, Vibe, and The Positivitree Charity (1197016), we highlighted the power of collective working, shared our learning and the positive impact Cradle to Career has had on the local community. By empowering communities to define and deliver their own solutions, we've been able to provide targeted support where it's needed most and successfully scale the initiative across Liverpool City Region. It was fantastic to be a part of the summit which brought together cross-sector leaders to learn and co-create solutions with and for young people. UK Youth | #CradleToCareer #PlaceBasedChange

It was a pleasure to join a productive session with Youth Futures Foundation, our colleagues at Department for Culture, Media and Sport and partner organisations earlier this week.

We are delighted to announce that Cradle to Career has been awarded £1.2 million in National Lottery funding to expand the programme across the Liverpool City Region. This investment is a testament to the incredible potential that exists within these communities, who have often been overlooked amidst the challenges of recent years. As our CEO, Graeme Duncan emphasises, “we are leaving a lot of potential on the table” by not supporting these communities to thrive. That is why Cradle to Career is committed to collaborating with communities to build upon existing opportunities and ensure that the programme is tailored to their unique needs. By bringing together schools, professionals, community organisations and local residents, we are creating a strong network that supports all children and young people to thrive. As said by Graeme, ‘'when people come together...you can get amazing outcomes for children and young people and get them a lot closer to their potential '’. 👉 Hear the full interview from our CEO, Graeme Duncan discussing the funding news and vision for the future on BBC Radio Merseyside with Kevin Duala. A huge thank you to all our dedicated partners and funders who have been instrumental in the success and positive impact of Cradle to Career.
