About us

At Think for the Future, our mission is clear: to engage, educate, and empower young people, nurturing their social and emotional resilience, independence, and self-control to unlock their full potential. We primarily operate within secondary school settings, where we provide invaluable support to young individuals, equipping them with the social and emotional resilience needed to surmount the various obstacles they may encounter in their education and lives.

Our focus lies with pupils who often find themselves disengaged from education, on the brink of exclusion, or burdened by low aspirations. At Think for the Future, we offer them an opportunity to not only strive but to excel in both their academic and personal development. This transformation is made possible through delivering a strong and relatable curriculum covering all areas of social and emotional resilience leading to the evidenced results of heightened aspirations, and improved behaviour.

To reach and inspire these pupils, we enlist relatable individuals who can establish enduring connections with young people. Our team members confidently deliver a comprehensive curriculum, covering a wide array of topics, ranging from anger and impulse management to motivation and determination. We are committed to making a lasting impact and creating a brighter future for the young people we work with.
