Next steps for young people
On Tuesday 10 March 2026, Eddie and Bill were invited to join a number of local organisations and their leaders in reviewing the achievements of the High Sheriff's initiatives over his past year of office, particularly regarding those not in education, employment or training (NEETs), at a seminar held at Surrey University.
Whilst the level of awareness of the challenge for such young adults has grown, both nationally and locally, as a result of the combined efforts of ourselves in partnership with the High Sheriff, the numbers remain high - nearly a million across the UK (13% of young adults) with equivalent numbers mirrored in areas such as North Leatherhead.
We remain committed to developing pathways to attract low achieving young adults into vocational training and work experiences leading to full time employment locally We are working with senior business partners, local government, schools and training delivery organisations, and the coming year's new High Sheriff and Lord Lieutenancy incumbents to achieve this.
Watch out for our latest news about other recent and forthcoming events - the momentum is building!
