Our aims
“This was a fantastic afternoon and evening. In the afternoon, the discussion generated around the equipment Tim needed was really high quality. The young people were asking and thinking about some high level science questions. It was really impressive. Our parents, who attended in the evening, really appreciated the messages about resilience. This has been a targeted area since lockdown and we all felt that this was an interesting way to engage the young people in that idea.”
There is little government or private money spent in the UK in schools and colleges on attempting to fit pupils’ and students’ skills and abilities to their possible future careers.
There is even less, often none, spent on encouraging the development of the life skills which young people will require whatever career they choose, the key skills required being the maintenance of motivation, resilience in adversity and the maintenance of good mental health.
The Foundation seeks to fill these gaps by delivering inspirational talks and workshops to schools and colleges, which focus on:
School feedback for our recent STEM presentation
"It was great, we enjoyed it and the boys loved it too.”
"An excellent idea to follow Tim’s journey- marking on a map at school but also sharing information with the parents on how to follow Tim would be good. Very inspiring & motivational - never give up theme shone through.”
"I loved it all. I really liked seeing all the equipment Tim needs and I’m looking forward to seeing him as he’s on the rally.”
"This was a fantastic afternoon and evening. In the afternoon, the discussion generated around the equipment Tim needed was really high quality.”
