WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE

An interest becomes a next step.

01 / CONNECT

“I like being creative.”

Begin with interests and talk through confidence, access and available time.

02 / CONTRIBUTE

A small first achievement.

Help photograph a community project, with a supported role and clear boundaries.

03 / CREATE

Something to show.

Learn editing, build a sample portfolio and reflect on the skills used.

04 / CHOOSE

A next step that fits.

Explore further learning, a suitable role or testing a small business idea.

An illustrative journey, not a participant testimonial or a promised outcome. Pathways can pause, adapt or take a different direction.

OUR PROPOSED FIRST PILOT

Big ambition. A practical beginning.

Start locally. Learn carefully. Grow with evidence.

The proposed first pilot would bring a small cohort together in Whitby or nearby, using existing partner premises and a focused programme of supported activities.

Cohort size, duration and delivery costs will be agreed with partners before recruitment.
