Improving the life for children and young people around the UK

BIE Executive is pleased to name Drive Forward Foundation (DFF) and Aldridge Foundation (AF) our charity partners for the next three years to help improve children's and young people's career prospects in London, North-West England and South-East England.

Who are Drive Forward Foundation and Aldridge Foundation?

Both Drive Forward Foundation and Aldridge Foundation are dedicated to improving the life chances of children and young people who come from under-privileged backgrounds. They share the belief that meaningful support offers the best hope for them to master the challenges in front of them and build positive futures for themselves.

The work of both The Aldridge Foundation and Drive Forward Foundation is needed more than ever, with the cost-of-living crisis disproportionately impacting those from lower socio-economic backgrounds and adding further pressure on those with care experience. Their mission is to break this cycle of deprivation and create equal chances for young people from underprivileged backgrounds.
