Elevate ~ Helping you towards a Brighter Future

Brighter Futures for Children (BFfC) logo

Our aim is to help NEET (or Risk of NEET) young people aged 16-18 (up to 25 for SEND and Care Leavers) to make informed career choices about their future. Our role is to provide impartial advice and guidance supporting young people back into Employment, Education and Training.

Young people aged 16-25 will have access to a wide range of services in the hub, including: advice on the academic and vocational opportunities available; first-hand experience of work places through the DWP Kick Start scheme; training sessions from local partners and employers; access to digital technology within the hub; resources to help with career planning; training on CV building, interview preparation and communication skills and drop-in support from health practitioners.

Young people can be referred to the service by their DWP Work Coach or Youth Employability Coach.

There is also a live chat facility for young people/parents/carers who may want to chat to us online – this service is open Mon-Friday 9-5pm
