Supporting people through this bursary has changed lives. Kate was agressive and reluctant to take part in class and had been excluded from two mainstream schools. She was placed at one of our Youth Achievement Foundations where a passion for sport was quickly identified as a way of engaging her to learn. Kate was given more support than she'd had at school and soon began to trust the staff. Her aggression was channelled into boxing where her talent saw her become a national champion. Alongside this, Kate gained accredited awards starting with a Youth Achievement Award. This built her confidence and meant she quickly moved on to find a job and complete further qualifications including an NVQ. The Youth Achievement Award was the first stepping stone on her journey to a full and successful life.
