For the past seven years, Wellington Place has proudly partnered with Ahead Partnership to support young people through meaningful, hands-on experiences.

Ahead Partnership works with employers to tackle social disadvantage and help young people overcome barriers to success. Through workshops, mentoring and real-world
interactions, they provide pupils with skills, confidence and career inspiration.

This autumn, Wellington Place welcomes the return of one of the partnership’s flagship events – The Enrichment Festival, set to take place on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th October. The dynamic event is designed to equip students with valuable personal and essential life skills.

In early 2026, we’ll welcome back the empowering Women of the Future event. Taking place on Thursday 26th February, it offers Year 9 girls the chance to explore their future career paths in a supportive and inclusive space.

To date we’ve supported over 900 young people who have been inspired through these events – and we’re just getting started. If you or your colleagues would like to volunteer
your time to help at any of these events, get in touch with Annamaria Stewart via email at annamaria.stewart@aheadpartnership.org.uk
