What is Building Futures?

A £15m programme to design and deliver targeted support for young people aged 13-16 at risk of becoming not in employment, education or training.

Helping us with our mission

The group will meet with key partners such as the Evaluator in the programme to consult on programme developments.

Pioneering approach

This is our first attempt to pilot youth inclusion in the design of an evaluation and we hope to learn and build on this experience to inform future youth inclusion in evaluation.

Involving young people in evidence-creation deepens our understanding, gives us better insight, and helps us create more inclusive intervention experiences for system users.
