NEETs Unlimited

There are approximately 1 million trustees in the UK. There are 1 million young people classified as not in employment, education or training(NEET). By supporting and mentoring one or more NEETs, charity trustees can break down obstacles preventing young people from acheiving employment, education and training.

ELIMINATING NEET

Helping young people to find the employment, education or training opportunities that are right for them by giving young people the opportunity to create their own solutions to employment problems through starting something themselves. We will facilitate this support through a smart phone application that helps with ideas generation before turning the idea into a viable income generating business. It’s clear that young people are the solution to their own problems and with support they have the potential to innovate and come up with the next big business or idea.

Visual Camp

What if we could give people who are very good at telling stories and communicating through visuals an understanding of how they could better work with public services & civil society and give policy makers new perspectives on how they present their policies and issues they cover and make them more engaging to the public?

The aim is re-frame the super villain using Joseph Campbell 'Heroes journey' as an adapted framework. Turning the "young person" in to a superhero. The service facilitates options for young people to get involved in street art in a non illegal way.
