Reflecting on a decade of transforming lives

I founded Drive Forward ten years ago with a clear mission: to help young care leavers with no professional or social networks to launch their career. A decade later, I’m proud to say we’ve achieved exactly that. Our corporate partners have been instrumental in our success, providing young people with invaluable career advice and opportunities, fostering a sense of ambition and harnessing their remarkable talents. Young people who have been in care often tell us that decisions were made about them, not with them. Putting them in the driving seat is at the heart of Drive Forward, and helping them launch their careers is an important first step to true independence. I can’t wait to see what we achieve together over the next ten years!
Transform your business. Transform lives.
