Every young person has potential. What they need is the right support, at the right time. Right now, nearly one million young people in the UK are not earning or learning. It’s more than a statistic – it’s a call to action.   At today's Employment Related Services Association (ERSA) Youth Employment conference, sector experts are coming together to ask 'are we doing enough?'.   As headline sponsor, our Chief Impact Officer Julie Leonard has announced our Foundation's £1 million investment in innovative solutions to support those furthest from work. The young people who aren’t ready for work today, but could be tomorrow with the right services in place.   Find out more about our youth employment innovation projects, and how to partner with us at: shawtrust.org.uk/impact/ #ERSAYouth25 #YouthEmployment #Foundation
