Skills and education

Providing opportunities to prepare for the future

Our community investment activity works to break down these barriers and create a world where everyone has the skills they need to maximise their full potential. Through our skills and education pillar we are providing opportunities to help communities prepare for the future.

Age UK - Building resilience

The Building Resilience programme provides an advice and information service delivered at a local level to reach older, vulnerable people in need across the UK.

This aims to equip older people with the tools, skills and opportunities needed to build resilience and overcome the most challenging times.

Skills for Life

Skills for Life is a bespoke employability programme for sixth form students from low-income households and our colleagues provide mentoring support. Designed by Talent Foundry in partnership with M&G plc, the sessions are fully facilitated with professional, experienced leads who engage the students and draw on our colleagues’ experience to the benefit of the students.

The programme supports students in how to develop key employability skills such as communication, networking and interview preparation, as well as an in-depth financial literacy component where students learn budgeting skills and money management. Colleagues have been volunteering on the programme for the last five years.
