Business Owners tell us why it’s important to support young people
Posted on:
In today’s rapidly evolving world, supporting children and young people is crucial. As Kevin McCullough, Managing Director of Fylde Hydraulics, aptly puts it, “It’s the next generation, isn’t it?” The future of any community depends significantly on the opportunities and support provided to its younger members. Yet, many young people, especially those facing challenges, often find themselves neglected, “put to the back of the queue,” as Kevin notes.
The Need for Support
Mark from Mark Blasting Services echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the necessity to “give them a chance.” There are many capable young individuals who, with the right support, can thrive and contribute positively to society. Unfortunately, the lack of assistance leaves them struggling to realize their potential. As business owners and community leaders, there is a moral and social responsibility to step in where traditional support systems may fall short.
Bridging the Gap
Genuine Futures are playing a pivotal role in bridging the gap to opportunity for young people. They work tirelessly to connect these individuals with resources, training, and mentorship, empowering them to overcome barriers and excel. By fostering environments that nurture talent and ambition, Genuine Futures ensures that young people are not left behind but are instead propelled toward success.
Business Social Value and Responsibility
For businesses, supporting young people is not just a philanthropic endeavor—it’s an investment in the future workforce. Companies can create significant social value by offering apprenticeships, internships, and educational partnerships. This not only enhances the skill set of young people but also cultivates a pool of talented individuals ready to contribute to the business world.
Moreover, businesses that actively engage in supporting young people demonstrate a strong sense of corporate social responsibility. By doing so, they build a positive reputation and strengthen community ties, which can lead to increased customer loyalty and employee satisfaction.
In conclusion, supporting children and young people is not merely a charitable act; it is a strategic move that benefits society at large. By investing in the next generation, businesses and organisations.
