Children in Need Funding Secured

Education Futures Trust (EFT) is delighted to announce that it has secured £120,000 over the next three years from BBC Children in Need to deliver vital support for children and young people across Hastings.

The funding will enable us to expand our work with young people who face barriers to education, wellbeing, and future opportunities, providing targeted support that helps them build confidence, resilience, and positive pathways for the future.

Through this investment, EFT will deliver a range of activities focused on improving emotional wellbeing, strengthening life skills, and helping young people develop the confidence they need to thrive both in and outside of education. The programme will create safe, supportive spaces where young people can access trusted guidance, build positive relationships and engage in activities that support their personal development.

Zoe, our CEO shares with us "We’re incredibly grateful to BBC Children in Need for their support and belief in our work. This funding will make a real difference to the lives of local young people, enabling us to provide consistent support over the next three years. We know that many young people are facing increasing challenges, and this investment will help us ensure they have the opportunities, guidance and encouragement they need to flourish."
