Creating positive next steps for young people.

The Young People’s Project, funded by Young Greenwich, supported 16 to 19-year-olds to build confidence, develop skills, and gain real experience in hospitality and tourism.

By April 2025, all 17 participants had moved on to positive next steps, including paid work, college, education, and volunteering.

A strong reminder that with the right support, mentoring, and opportunities, young people can thrive.
