At Link Group, supporting the communities in which we operate has long been part of our ethos. We believe that education is crucial to improving communities and building a sustainable future.

Our CSR strategy focusses on supporting education for disadvantaged and vulnerable people in the communities we operate in through national partnerships in several key regions. 

Young Enterprise (YE) reaches over 220,000 young people aged 5-18+ across the UK every year. Their financial capability and entrepreneurship education programmes help young people learn the vital skills needed to earn and look after their money. They help develop an enterprising mindset and make a valuable contribution to their communities and wider society.

To tackle stagnating social mobility and prepare young people for work, YE’s No Time Like the Future (NTLTF) strategy focuses on creating one million opportunities for young people to gain the skills they need to thrive in the future by 2023.

YE acts now to help young people navigate successful pathways to opportunity. This is even more important to address the disproportionately negative impact COVID-19 will have on a generation of young people.

Our donation to YE will support their existing student programmes, including many exciting opportunities for volunteering – including career insights sessions, mentoring and judging for competitive awards.
