The need: Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are twice as likely as their better-off peers to be out of education, employment, or training. Gender and experience of care compound this disadvantage, with care leavers three times more likely to be not in education, employment, or training.
Our portfolio partner: Sister System provides specialist early-intervention support to care-affected young women aged 13-24 in order to help them sustain positive relationships and mental wellbeing and progress into education, training, and employment.
Our Impact: Sister System runs a unique programme targeted at the young people most in need. We are helping them to design, deliver, and evaluate their work for maximum impact and build out the organisational foundations to sustain it.
This empowering partnership will enable Sister System to further our expertise and enhance our ability to demonstrate our unique model enables some of the most marginalised girls in society. Together with Impetus we will increase our reach ensuring our transformational programmes reach and empower, enable, and enhance care affected girls and young women to fulfil their life potential.
