On Saturday 2nd December Future Foundations’ alumni, staff, volunteers and partners came together  for our sixth annual Awards. The event, which was held at the Devas Club in London as part of the inaugural Future Group Festival, was an opportunity for us to bring together all the people that enable Future Foundation’s vision for society to come to life. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended this year’s event to recognise and celebrate our collective achievements and contribution during 2017.

Congratulations to every Award winner, nominee and audience member for being part of a truly special day and for making 2017 a year to remember. We look forward to the successes this year will bring and to enjoying the journey with you all!

He constantly chooses to push himself into his stretch zone, to continue to grow and learn more and more about himself and those around him. He should be recognised for the positive contribution he has made to the organisation and to the NCS programme in the Chesterfield area in particular”

Partner Special Recognition Award

Future Foundations could not deliver the scale and scope of our programmes without the incredible partners we work with. We believe in the importance of collaboration and playing to organisation strengths, and through this collaboration we can create a more sustainable society.

This award recognises the partner organisations that have helped Future Foundations to make a significant impact on young people’s lives, worked closely in partnership on one or more programmes and have shared our passion for helping every young person achieve their full potential.

Ingeus

“Ingeus have been Future Foundations’ Regional Delivery Partner for the NCS in Chesterfield for a number of years. They have been supportive and great partners to work alongside. The relationship was further strengthened last year when we took on Simon Paterson, who had previously been an NCS recruiter for Ingeus. We have been delighted to have increased our participant numbers each summer, which shows the belief and trust that has formed between us.”
