Our impact
The experience taught me how vital teamwork is and gave me real insight into the many roles people play behind the scenes. I also realised how important self-confidence is in the workplace.
We see talent every day. Yet, the opportunity to harness and develop talent is not accessible to all, or available in every community.
By fundraising for The Talent Foundry, you are reducing the multiple barriers young people across the country face, enabling them to reach their full potential in education and work.
Highlights from 2023
The interventions from The Talent Foundry have significantly enhanced the overall classroom atmosphere. Students are more engaged, cooperative and respectful to one another. Students have learnt to take ownership of their behaviour and make positive choices inside and outside the classroom. The sessions have given the students a purpose to be at school and focus on their studies.
