Join me in supporting Career Ready and the thousands of talented young people across the UK who benefit from their programme each year and who need our help more than ever. Indeed, research shows that the Covid-19 crisis will disproportionately affect young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, widening the educational gap and reducing opportunities such as paid work placements and internships. Career Ready has done a great job at supporting them during lockdown with an online Skills Festival but they need our support to carry on empowering young people to reach for the rewarding and successful future they deserve. This is why I decided to fundraise for them and I hope you will consider making a donation. For every £1 you donate, 94p will go directly to delivering their life-changing programmes.
