Young Enterprise is the UK’s leading financial and enterprise education charity. We believe every young person, whatever their starting point, deserves the chance to build the skills, confidence and experience needed to succeed in life, including managing their money well. Our hands-on, practical programmes help young people develop confidence, teamwork, problem-solving and money skills that last a lifetime. Through volunteers, educators and partners, we connect young people with opportunities and role models that can open doors. Our Transforming Futures strategy commits us to making these opportunities truly inclusive and accessible, especially for those facing the biggest barriers. We’re building a fairer system that values enterprise and financial education, drives social mobility and helps every young person unlock their potential, regardless of their starting point in life.
