We were delighted to be invited down to the Portsmouth Youth Hub to meet Simon Ridley CB, Second Permanent Secretary at the Home Office 👨‍💼

It was great to hear about all the incredible work happening across the Youth Hub, Portsmouth Jobcentre and their wider partners to support young people across the city.

It was also a valuable opportunity to discuss some of the barriers young people most commonly face and the importance of organisations and partners working together to help create better opportunities and outcomes.

It was great to be part of such an important conversation! 💭

You don’t need to have your whole future figured out. If you’re not going to college / university, you’re not currently in education or employment, or you simply don’t know what you want to do next…

You’re not behind! 📢

Through VOYCE, we can work with you 1:1 to explore what comes next and help you take some practical steps towards your future.

Whether you need work experience, a mentor, help with your CV, support exploring careers or simply someone to help you work out what your options are, we’re here.

Your next step doesn’t have to be a massive one. It just needs to be a step forward😌

Rest in peace to the wonderful, inspirational Alan Knight 🕊️💙

Alan was such a huge supporter of everything Keshia & Leah were building from the very beginning and became a hugely loved presence within the Next Gen family. We are devastated to hear of his passing and are sending love to Alan’s family and friends.

A true Pompey legend, Alan had an incredible life and story, and we were so fortunate to have him join us on the podcast to talk about his journey. A huge inspiration, and something we will always be grateful to have shared with him.

Thank you for everything, Alan. You will be so greatly missed ❤️‍🩹

IT’S ALL COMING TOGETHER🤩

Yesterday we had the pleasure of catching up with Liam Davies from the Hampshire Police Education & Partnerships Team to discuss the new academic year and the recent launch of Pol-Ed. Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire & Isle of Wight

It was a valuable opportunity to share updates and look at how we can continue working together to support young people across our communities.

As we head into the new academic year, we’re looking forward to continuing to build strong partnerships and create positive opportunities for young people.

Thank you to Liam for taking the time to meet with us and for the continued collaboration💙

A huge thank you to our five incredible SPONSORS🖤
Mountjoy Ltd, Comserv, AtkinsRéalis, HuwsGray and LJH Electrical.

Your support has such a huge effect on the impact we’re able to create with young people.

Because of our sponsors, we’re able to continue delivering projects, creating opportunities, raising aspirations and reaching young people who need support the most. Sponsorship isn’t just about putting a logo on a page. It helps us turn ideas into real opportunities and create spaces where young people can feel supported and encouraged to believe in what they can achieve.

We’re incredibly grateful to each of you for continuing to believe in our vision and for investing in the next generation.
Thank you for being part of the PRNG journey🤩

Meet Matilda! 😇 Matilda has been completing work experience with us over the summer, and we’ve absolutely loved having her as part of the Next Gen team.

From the very beginning, we’ve seen so much work ethic, enthusiasm and dedication from Matilda, and she’s already got stuck into a huge variety of projects.

She’s been supporting the planning of our Next Gen Live event at the Guildhall, looking at our TikTok platform and video content, reviewing some of our delivery materials and helping us plan future blog content.

It’s been brilliant to see her take on new tasks, bring her own ideas and get involved across different areas of the organisation.

In September, Matilda will be heading off to study A Level Politics, A Level English Language and A Level PE, and we’re so proud to be able to continue working with and supporting her alongside her studies.

We love having Matilda as part of the team and can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes her!💛

Good luck to everyone collecting their GCSE results today!🎓

Remember, this is just one step in your journey. Be proud of how far you’ve come and excited for what comes next👏
