What difference will you make?

Youth unemployment is set to reach an all time high due to COVID-19 and excess competition in the job market. Through our UpSkill Yourself programme we give some young people in Brent the opportunity up-skill themselves while aiding in the delivery of an internet radio show addressing UK education and the issues that effect a child’s educational attainment.

The gift of your time will not only help with the management and maintenance of our social media platforms, it will also help each young person gain the skills required to bolster their skill set and CV as part of the current project we are preparing for.

This project is two-pronged

• We will be providing a much needed Educational based internet radio show where we will bring the discussion around UK education and the issues that effect a child’s educational attainment into the household so that the family becomes the primary focal point in helping the child succeed at school.
• The radio show will be predominantly created by Brent residents for Brent residents, specifically engaging young people with the focus on helping them to create more positive opportunities for themselves (during this pandemic and beyond) and steering them away from inactivity and antisocial behaviour.
