The Challenger Trust has been working with some of the most socially and economically deprived areas of the UK for over 20 years.
We are absolutely thrilled to win this grant. Without these sort of awards, I don’t think people like us would exist. In the current climate, it’s a real benefit to be able to do so much for the young people in the West Midlands. The award will help young people who are very pent up and locked down at the moment. They suffer from poverty and lack of opportunity and what we do is present young people with as many opportunities as we can to improve their employability and social mobility.

What our donation will help fund
The grant from Ecclesiastical will enable the charity to train teachers to guide some of the most vulnerable and at-risk young people in Birmingham through their 18-month 'MyJourney' character development programme. It will enable them to install a digital platform for the pupils’ personal development plan and to procure a broad range of activities proven to build initiative, resilience and confidence, as well as to improve motivation, teamwork and communication skills. Importantly, it will leave schools equipped with the skills and resources they need to continue delivering character building programmes for years to come.
