Kinship Programme

We are launching a design programme with organisations that have an existing relationship with us and that are already working collaboratively with young people (aged 16–25). This will be a closed programme that will support organisations to test, explore and learn what skills, experiences, and relationships young people want and need to help them build a more hopeful future together. 

Our starting point is that young people are looking for something new and different to do this – and we’d like to test whether this is the case and what it could look like. We want to understand what skills, capabilities, mindsets and learning young people need to create futures where they can thrive, take action and feel hopeful. 

We recognise that the world is changing at a rapid pace and that the future might feel challenging and overwhelming for young people. We also know there is work across the UK that is responding to this in creative and imaginative ways, supporting young people to become co-creators of the future. 

We aim to share insights and learning from the programme more widely to inform practice and investment with and for young people that equips them to create hopeful futures and that lays the foundations for future generations.
