Action4Youth intervention and transformation programmes
The Inspiration Programme
A life changing, aspiration raising, inspiring 1 year programme which can broaden the horizons, thinking and experience of young people. | READ MORE
Every young person not just the privileged, deserves enrichment opportunities outside the classroom. The Inspiration Programme is an exceptional body which gives young people the opportunity to learn more about themselves and society at large. It inspires their development as confident, interested young people ready to face the opportunities and challenges of adult life. I commend it most warmly.

I just wanted to let you know how happy we were with Bex and the team. The whole week ran incredibly smoothly, and all the students were really engaged; all activities were pitched at the right level; and the staff were very professional, flexible, friendly and quickly fitted into our team.
