Why Should I Support The Springboard Charity?
From the very beginning back in 1990, the charity's aim is to support hospitality, leisure and tourism. Moreover, the goal is to future-proof the talent pipeline for hospitality and tourism. How? By educating those under the age of 25. Springboard works across the UK & Ireland and offers Employability training programmes, Education programmes and Career resources and advice.
By supporting Springboard you're helping young people enter the industry and reduce unemployment and poverty across the UK. Programmes like FutureChef and CareerScope provide professional skills and tailored aftercare to people with barriers to employment or those in education. Through employer partners, Springboard finds and develops new talent while promoting the sector as a viable and rewarding career path.
