Think for the Futureʼs mission is to engage, educate and empower young people to have social and emotional
resilience, independence and control in order to achieve their potential. We work in KS2, KS3 and KS4 settings,
providing young people with the social and emotional resilience they may need to help them overcome
barriers they may face in their education or their lives.

The pupils we work with are often disengaged from education, close to exclusion or have low aspirations and,
at Think for the Future, we offer the opportunity for them to strive and succeed in both their academic and non-
academic outcomes, through improvements in resilience, aspirations and behaviour. To access and impact
these pupils, we employ relatable individuals who are able to create strong and lasting rapport with these
young people and confidently deliver a comprehensive curriculum covering a vast range of topics, from anger
and outburst control, to motivation and will-power.
