Developing. Encouraging. Inspiring

At Kick Start we have one simple aim: to provide support to educational providers working with vulnerable groups.

We work closely with schools providing training and consultancy including capacity building for leaders and helping to raise the attainment levels of vulnerable groups.

We also offer a range of programmes for young people, including our award-winning Heroes Programme, which helps young people to recognise their goals and fulfil their potential, and tailored careers and education advice for students across the city.

Our vision:

We want to give every child the opportunity to discover and unlock their creativity, imagination and potential – regardless of their age, gender, religion, economic, social or cultural background. Together we aim to harness these qualities and to help young people on the road to success.
