    • At The Forefront: Arming Young People With The Financial Skills They Need To Thrive
      Oct 17 2025

      Why are so many young people in underserved communities growing up without the basic financial skills they need for everyday life?


      In this At The Forefront session, we speak to Abdirahman Ahmed, Founder of Urban Rise, to find out how his organisation is tackling financial exclusion by giving young people the confidence and knowledge to take control of their money and their futures.


      Our CEO, Mary Rose Gunn, dive into how Urban Rise’s programmes are building financial literacy and breaking cycles of debt. Together, they explore what being on top of your finances really looks like and why the young people who need these skills the most are often the least likely to have access to them.

    • At The Forefront: Solving The UK's Neet Crisis from the Ground Up
      Sep 29 2025

      Why are there 800,000 young people not in education, employment or training? Is it because they’re lazy, or are they being failed by a broken system?


      In this At The Forefront session, we speak to Sam Squire, CEO of Inspire 2 Ignite CIC, to hear the true cost of having so many economically inactive young people, and how his programmes are supporting them into great work and education opportunities.


      The Fore’s CEO, Mary Rose Gunn, explores how Inspire 2 Ignite’s innovative approach to engaging young people sparks entrepreneurial spirit and delivers real results. Together, they dig into the root causes behind the NEET crisis in the UK and uncover what needs to change to fix it.


      If you care about the future of our young people and want to know what you can do to help, this one's for you.
