Spotlight: The Next Generation Leadership Programme (NGLP)

The Next Generation Leadership Programme (NGLP) is an alternative educational programme designed to inspire, motivate and broaden the mindsets of young people aged 11 to 18. The pilot programme was funded by the Big Lottery Fund and designed to expose young people to practical potential pathways for their future careers whilst equipping them with transferable skills to help them advance within a competitive society as well as improve their academic engagement and achievement. The 2019 NGLP engaged over 20 young people in London, supporting the students to explore experiences to enhance their educational and future career pathways. It took place in Croydon during October half term 2019 in conjunction with our delivery local partner LIFT Mentoring, an innovative Croydon-based mentoring company supporting young people in education. We also worked with 12 local partner organisations who fed into the delivery of the programme. They were: LIFT Mentoring Project, Croydon Supplementary Education Project, Legacy Youth Zone, Crystal Palace Football Club Community Programme, Brunel University, Nexus Business Centre, Queens Square Croydon, Sussex Innovation Centre, NatWest Bank, Blue Jay Café and the Diane Abbott Foundation. Find out what our participants’ parents had to say about the programme on the next page.
