Olivia & Beth's Rising Futures Story

This is Olivia and Beth, two students on our Rising Futures programme who overcame their different challenges with self-belief and really flourished.

Through their coaching and experience days, they both made new friends and built their Confidence, Resilience and Self-Awareness.

Olivia was able to stand in front of her peers, who she had previously never met and lead them in campfire songs at our Into the Wild session! 

Beth worked on her confidence so much that she felt able to stand up and present a task in front of an audience of corporate employees on her World of Work trip. She won the competition and said she would remember the experience forever. She was able to build on her positive self-talk and set herself future goals to continue to grow. A year after participating in the programme she presented to a group of her peers about the impact Yes Futures had in her life. 

It’s amazing how far we can progress with our self-belief and fulfil our potential when we have regular support from a coach. This is the impact Yes Futures makes through its coaching programmes. 

Please help us to help more students like Olivia and Beth by giving your support to our #ChristmasChallenge Campaign

We’ve been selected by Big Give to raise £10,000 this December which will be match funded pound for pound by The Dulverton Trust.  That means we have the potential to raise £20,000 in a 7-day period between 3rd December midday and 10th December midday, enabling us to support another 350 young people through our coaching programmes in 2025. 

This is a huge fundraising goal for us at Yes Futures and we need your help.
