Our Partners

REACHING YOUNG PEOPLE IN PLYMOUTH WITH THE HELP OF OUR PARNTERS

Plymouth Aspirations Trust set up the Imagine Fund to support young people in Plymouth, but to reach young people who need the support we rely on referral partners.

In this section we highlight our current referral partners and the role they play in supporting young people who want to access our funding and how future referral partners can get involved.

BECOME A REFERRAL PARTNER.

By becoming a referral partner you are supporting our charity to reach as many young people as possible.

Referral partners will be organisations who:

  • Work with young people aged between 11-19 years of age

  • Understand their future ambitions

  • Understand how financial support can benefit them

  • Can provide support in the form of an ‘advocate’.

If this sound like your organisation please contact us to find out more.

OUR REFERRAL PARTNERS HELP US…

  • Our mission is to encourage the unusual, and to give young people the freedom to explore and create fabulous futures.

  • Our Referral Partners act as advocates for our applicants, which builds their confidence to apply and improves the standard of applications we receive.

  • Our Referral Partners spread the word and help us reach young people we wouldn’t otherwise be able to reach.
