It was absolutely fantastic to have Amy Heppingstall from Mental Health UK back with us again to deliver their Navigating Digital Finances workshop to our young people! 🧡

This session focused on digital finances, helping our young people understand how to keep safe from scams, use credit cards 💳 responsibly, and manage their money 💷 online with confidence.

It’s more important than ever: research from the UK Safer Internet Centre 🛜 found almost half of 8 to 17-year-olds (46%) have been scammed online, with 79% coming across scams at least once a month. Sessions like this give our young people the tools and confidence to spot the warning signs and stay safe.

Huge thanks to Amy and Mental Health UK for sharing their time and expertise with us again. 🙌

A huge thank you to 💙 whose funding and support has made this project possible 🎉

And with England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 taking on Norway 🇳🇴 in the World Cup quarter-final this Saturday night 🏆 football fever is well and truly here! Who knows, the next Three Lions star might just be training with us right now! 🦁🦁🦁

What an incredible evening at BYO 🌟

We had the privilege of welcoming Dr Shirley Ye to deliver this year’s Annual Youth Futures Lecture 📚 Her talk, Amazing Women Who Changed China, took our young people on a journey through the lives of remarkable women 💃 who shaped the course of history.

Pin-drop silence in the room said it all 🤫 Our young people were completely captivated, and left knowing so much more about the fearless women who refused to let history pass them by.

We ended the evening the best way we know how, sharing a warm Xenara meal together 🍽️ Community, knowledge, and joy, all under one roof.

Thank you Dr Shirley Ye for an unforgettable afternoon 🙏 This is exactly what Youth Futures is all about.

The Annual Youth Futures Lecture 2026 is almost here 🌟

This year we welcome the brilliant Dr Shirley Ye (Harvard, PhD) for a talk entitled:

Amazing Women Who Changed China

“From a warrior who disguised herself as a man to fight in her father’s place, to the only woman ever to rule China as Emperor, to a revolutionary who left everything behind to fight for women’s freedom — Chinese history is full of extraordinary women whose stories are rarely told outside China. This talk brings some of them to life for young people and their families, spanning two thousand years of history, legend, and culture. We’ll meet rebels and revolutionaries, singers whose music crossed borders that politics could not, artists who asked uncomfortable questions, and communities of women who invented their own secret writing system rather than be silenced. The talk weaves together myth, biography, and history to explore a simple but powerful idea: that women have always found ways to shape the world around them, even when the world told them they couldn’t. Expect stories, surprises, and a few questions worth taking home.”

All welcome 🤗 Free entry 🎟️

Xenara will be served to all at the end of the event 🍽️

We’re pleased to share that Britannia Youth Organisation has partnered with to deliver their Me and Money programme 💷

This weekend, we had the pleasure of welcoming Amy Hepingstall to BYO, where she led a truly brilliant session with our young people on everything money, finance, and banking 🏦

The workshop was packed with real, practical knowledge that young people rarely get the chance to explore in such an accessible and engaging way. Amy walked them through the debt cycle, breaking down how easily people can fall into financial difficulty and what warning signs to look out for 📉 She covered the essentials of standing orders and direct debits, explained how credit cards really work 💳 and opened up important conversations about financial scams and how to stay protected both online and offline 🔒

The young people also explored the importance of savings 🐖 budgeting, and how interest works; building a strong foundation of financial confidence that will serve them well into adulthood. The session sparked genuine curiosity and conversation, with our young people asking thoughtful questions throughout 💡

We can’t wait to welcome Amy back for the second session taking place in May. A huge thank you to Mental Health UK for making this possible and to Amy for bringing such energy and expertise to our community 💜

What a weekend at Pathways to Progress! 🎓

It was a real pleasure to welcome Katrina Brigmane from the University of Cambridge to deliver an incredible session for our young people 📚 Katrina led a thought-provoking presentation on English Literature, showing how a single piece of writing can be interpreted in so many different ways💡 Our young people explored how literature can be read through the lenses of philosophy, politics, and psychology, uncovering layers of meaning they might never have considered before 🌍

Katrina also shared her personal journey to Cambridge ✨ giving our young people a real insight into what it took to get there and what life at one of the world’s top universities is actually like. She then opened the floor to answer questions about Cambridge itself and how to make it there 🏛️

To finish off a brilliant afternoon, our young people sat together to share a Xenara meal 🍽️ and received Easter eggs to celebrate Easter Sunday 🐣

These are the moments that make Pathways to Progress so special. Connecting our young people with inspiring role models, opening their minds to new ways of thinking, and showing them that the very best opportunities are absolutely within their reach 🚀
