How to get involved as a
Funder
An opportunity to achieve significant local impact with young people
Project Can Do is a journey of self-discovery and essential skills coaching that inspires and empowers school students to unlock their true potential and to connect meaningfully with aspirational local mentors and organisations.
Over the course of eight engaging workshops, students undertake a cohesive programme of sophisticated personal and professional development from our own inspirational coaches and a selection of carefully curated local experts.
This impactful enterprise programme brings together a unique and highly effective combination of skills training, professional coaching and mentoring workshops into a single cohesive journey of self-discovery and personal development.
The whole journey is brought to life by our experienced and engaging coaches and our local delivery partners from organisations based within the local community.

We have a waiting list of schools all over the UK waiting for their Project Can Do programme to be activated by a local sponsor.
If we don't already have a school near you on our waiting list, we'll contact the school nearest to you and begin the partnership process.
All of our sponsors will be provided with an impact report upon completion of the programme, as well as photos that can used in your social media, newsletters or internal communications.
All of our funders will be provided with a comprehensive impact report upon completion of the programme.
Representatives from your organisation are very welcome to join us for some of the workshops to see your funding in action.
We encourage our funders to consider supporting our programmes for three years.
Become one of our Pioneer Partners!
It takes between four to six weeks and requires an immediate investment of £8,000 to establish our programmes in a new region.
By making a one-off donation of £8,000 you would be enabling us to develop partnerships with ten new schools, and kick-starting the process of setting up Project Can Do for up to 300 young people each year.
Pioneer Partner funding allows us to reduce the year-on-year programme costs to schools and allows us to achieve results quickly and effectively.
Pioneer Partners are granted access to one of our Enterprise Hubs and will have their branding featured on all learning material in every school in that region for one year.

Provide us with guest speakers
Guest speakers bring our weekly workshops to life. They help us to provide context to the learning, provide inspiration, raise aspirations and play a vital role in the development of our students.
It doesn't cost any money to provide guest speakers for our workshops. All we need is the following:
-
Individuals who are willing to share their career and/or life stories with our students.
-
To attend one or more of our weekly workshops, on-site at a local school.
-
Provide us with a fifteen to twenty minute talk (with or without slides).
-
To stay with us for the remainder of the session (approximately one hour in total) to get to know the students better and to help facilitate some of the group activities.
-
Be willing for our students to contact them after the session via email if they have any further questions.
Your staff do not need to obtain CRB clearance as they will always be accompanied by our own staff members.
All career stories are interesting to our students.
Your staff do not need any particular training to support our students but we are happy to provide a brief classroom management coaching session if requested.
Guest speakers play a vital role in the development of our students simply by showing up. It should not be underestimated how transformational it is to spend one hour in the classroom with these young people.
Book us to give a talk or presentation
We have staff members, advisors and experts in business and education who can give engaging and informative talks about our work in the business and enterprise education space.
Hosting us at your event is a great way for your network to learn more about what we do, and is incredibly helpful for us to raise awareness of the key issues surrounding our mission.
Our team can also help you to plan and organise an event at your offices, places of worship, school, university or community centre.
