We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for all the support and guidance you’ve provided. It’s truly bittersweet to say goodbye, we are very sad to be losing such an incredible team.

A special shout-out to Gareth, whose enthusiasm and dedication have sparked M’s newfound love for science. Hopefully that inspiration will stay with her during the self-paced learning over the year to come, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

We wish you all the very best as you continue to help and inspire other students in the future. Please know that your impact on our family has been profound and will never be forgotten.

Claire has been instrumental on enabling one of our YPs to achieve a Grade 6 in History. This YP only joined the service at the end of February and had missed a lot of schooling prior to their admission. They would not have been able to complete their GCSE without the input Claire gave. This YP wished to continue History for 'fun', post exam, which indicates the relationship that Claire has built with this YP

We are ever grateful for the excellent work you do. We have seen the impact that FY has on the young people it engages with, often being the support mechanism needed to turn around significant challenges to engagement and finding solutions to create better outcomes. Thank you.

I can’t thank you enough for all the work you have put into E, it has made a world of difference. It was lovely to know he had somebody else he trusts to be on his side and rooting for him to succeed.

He went to college yesterday & today without even a muttering of I don’t want to go like usual. I think things finally might be slotting into place for him.

You will always have a special place in my heart because knowing that it wasn’t just me & him against the system but that you shared that burden to help and opened E's eyes to what he can achieve. Im forever grateful.

Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for everything you did for E.
You were her first positive teacher contact since she left her school back in October 2023.

All the work you did with and building up her confidence was so instrumental in her burnout recovery journey. You have had such a positive influence on her and she is such a different girl to the one you started with.

As we come to the end of this chapter, I just want to say something that's honestly hard to put into words - thank you.

Hannah has been so much more than a tutor to I. She has been a calm, kind and unwavering presence - one of the very few constants in her world when much else has felt uncertain. I can't tell you how much that has meant to both of us.

She believed in her, encouraged her, and helped her grow in confidence, not just in her learning but in herself. That kind of support is rare, and it's had a deeper impact than you probably realise. Future You has made her feel safe and capable and seen - and that is something I will always be grateful for.

# data[].attributes.body
Because Future you has been such an amazing, positive experience for E we are now looking at private online schools so that she can push on, in a way that suits her, to get her GCSES. Future You have taught E that she is smart and capable and that it’s the surroundings that make a difference. I want to thank you and your team for making E feel welcome, included and smart. She hasn’t felt any of these things before and this process has been life changing for her. It has shown her that what she needs does exist and she is valuable and does indeed have a future.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for your hospitality and enthusiasm to work with one of our trainees. I really appreciated the high level of organisation and planning that you put into this, including pre- and post-meetings and a carefully designed timetable that allowed for in-person and virtual opportunities. This been a very rich and meaningful opportunity and we really appreciate the opportunity to find out more about your service, which will certainly benefit communication and working together in future.

E has just come out of her English lesson feeling more proud of herself than she has in 4 years. Danika’s praise for a piece of work she did really landed and she’s been both emotional and proud. It’s just everything we hoped for after such a dreadful school experience and burnout. I’m so very very grateful. Thank you !

Just a quick note to say that we were reflecting as a family about the fantastic support you gave S and the whole family. I thought you might like to know that S has just completed her first full year back at school. She is doing really well both academically and socially, and has excellent attendance. She is thriving in all her subjects, coping well with homework, and - even more importantly - has a fantastic group of friends who she sees most weekends. Who would have thought that the shy little girl you met in Year 8 would make such a transformation… We really cannot thank you enough - you made life possible again.

I wanted to write this for anyone doubting Future You . My daughter is 13 years old and last year her mental heath was so low I thought I was going to lose her , she lost her beautiful smile any self confidence and she didn’t think anyone was able to understand  or help . As a mum being so close to her the  things I was doing probably wasn’t helping but we are only human . Life was so uncertain for her she had no goals no ambition and couldn’t even think about school or a social life . Then one day this most amazing person walked into Costa to meet myself and E and I knew from that moment we had help Sam is incredible , kind understanding and right from the start believed in E. This was in June , fast forward to December E has attended school for the first time in 9 months , she is understanding her feelings and I can honestly say I have my daughter back .. the road ahead is still going to be tricky , but we are much more prepared .. I can’t put into words how grateful I am to Sam and Future you .. giving E back her smile is the greatest gift I could ever wish for, not all Hero’s wear capes but you are definitely mine ☺️

The service is very relationship based which for our young people is paramount. The plan is always tailored to the individual young person and communication is excellent both with the young person and with the professionals involved. A joined up plan is always in place so that the young person feels that they are part of the plan.

I always find the program manager really helpful and supportive and this really makes the changes from offering a child in school provision to alternative provision run smoothly - so thank you.

This service is outstanding. Everyone is supportive and genuinely seem to put the students wellbeing and best interests first. My daughter is THRIVING! She is engaged in her education, making progress and actually looks forward to her lessons with her tutor. Her tutor is the best we have ever met. They are amazing with my daughter and have built an amazing relationship where she is comfortable and engaged in her learning. I can't thank you all enough. You're changing lives!

# data[].attributes.body
I just wanted to send a message to say that we really appreciate you and the work you do with I. Tutors and people like you are true and genuine angels who deserve all the recognition. You don't know the true power of change you make in people's lives. You never know what the future holds, but I feel it's important to let the good people know just how special and appreciated they are whenever you can.

Just thought I’d let you all know that C had her first 6 hour work placement today.
She was up before I was going to wake her (this is a massive.) She came out buzzing and has made a friend.
It was so nice to see her happy and excited for once. Her comment was “I’m so proud of myself” She had so much self doubt with all that’s happened.
I think this is really what she needed. Thank you for finding her the placement and to Gareth with the support.

I would like to also say how much I/we appreciate all your help, support and guidance and we have been so so lucky to have you and Hannah in our lives, any other young person who gets the opportunity to work with you is privileged no end. From a child who I thought may not see his 16th birthday due to the emotional toll the last school caused him, L's development and progression has been tantamount to indescribable and it is all due to you and Hannah. Words will never describe how grateful and thankful to you we as a family are, I know it has not been easy sailing. You are amazing individuals and deserve the highest praise a person can bestow.

I would just like to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to become part of future you and regain my confidence and for enabling me to access the education system after a tough few years in mainstream. I have learnt so much from everyone at Future You and have grown so much as a person. I will forever be grateful of the opportunities future you has given me and I am so thankful for all the teachers that have taken their time to help students in need like myself

Thank you once again for coming across and teaching J, he benefitted greatly, not only from your knowledge but your calm, kind approach to his sessions. I spoke with J just before he left and, with tears in his eyes, he said how incredibly grateful and appreciative he was of the time, effort and support all staff had given him. Education was a protective factor and it helped him to stay regulated, through some extremely difficult times and dark days.

# data[].attributes.body
I just wanted to thank you for being amazing teachers, you're one of the best I've ever had . Your kindness and your patience has really helped me and I am more confident in my learning than I have ever been. You have really motivated me and reignited my passion for maths and to work harder. I have enjoyed everything I have learnt and even if I don't understand it and you always take the time to help me understand. Even though I have been fighting for education for a very long time I can truly say that this has been the best experience and I have met a lot of nice people along the way. Thank you for helping me and giving me an education during these difficult times when I thought all hope had gone

J has thrived academically due to your commitment and engagement.  He honestly adores every single one of his tutors and is so appreciative of the education you have provided him.  The end of our Future You journey is bittersweet - we are going to miss all of you so much, but thank you for paving the way for J to succeed wherever his path takes him.  Take care and keep doing the incredible work you do, knowing you truly make a difference.

I currently live in a children's home and have no family around me. The support, both emotionally and mentally that most children take for granted is not something I always have. Nick's positive attitude has had a huge impact on me. He is always calm and sees things from all angles, he never ever seems to get stressed or wound up and I find it really inspiring. He also sends me annoying, positive text messages which always arrive when I am feeling a bit rough but I would definitely miss them if I didn't get them!!

# data[].attributes.body
I would just like to say thank you so much for everything you have done for me this past year. I will forever be so grateful at the opportunity I have been given with Future You to continue my education. Thank you for supporting me through everything, building my confidence, encouraging me to do well and to achieve high. I could’ve never have achieved everything I have without the help from you.
I have loved our lessons and how much I have learnt from you within this year. Thank you for taking your time and choosing this job to help students like me flourish and have a better outcome in the education system. Thank you for everything and I wish you the best in the future!

It would be amazing if Future You was a long term option for those children who find mainstream school and social interaction difficult and anxiety inducing.

I thought you would like to hear that not only is S enjoying being back in lessons and coping really well in school so far, but this afternoon she has asked to go into town with her friends for a Christmas hot chocolate. I really cannot put into words just what that means to us all. Your care, kindness, and expertise has been so impactful. S has enjoyed her English and Maths with you - you are a fantastic teacher.  I know she has learned much more from you as a mentor - it’s been joyful to see her unfurl a little more each week.

S has loved every minute of the project.  It has been a fantastic opportunity for her and she has felt so well supported by you. It has been a brilliant experience for her as she reintegrates back into life at school. It has helped reignite her passion for learning and rebuild her confidence in working with new people. She really enjoyed R’s company, too. She loved showing her siblings all the artefacts she studied last night - we were all extremely jealous!

The communication with the service could not be faulted. Not only was E being supported but we felt the whole family was receiving support - not something we had encountered before.

The review sessions with Future You and the school were useful and as parents we felt comments made during these reviews empowered us to have the confidence that we were making the right decisions for E. We knew school wasn't working for her but we needed someone from outside looking in to give us the confidence that we were making the right decisions. Future You provided that for us.

Through Future You, my daughter has gained self esteem, an acknowledgement that she is entitled to her own views, as long as they do not cause harm to others, the ability to learn and to be heard in different ways rather than being told how to think, look, behave and feel.  She has gained learning to sit her GCSEs and to have the opportunity for future pathways outside the regime of mainstream schooling.  I doubt she would have sat them without Future You and she has been able to actually go back into the school setting to sit them, which is a huge achievement. It has really been a life line for our daughter, so thank you.

# data[].attributes.body
The way in which Future You support their individual needs has opened up my daughter’s ability to learn and to respect who she is as a person.  Without this, I doubt she would have been able to sit her GCSEs and would have withdrawn yet further into herself.  She really enjoyed the quizzes and although she often found it hard to switch on her camera, the flexibility of the chat option enabled her to participate in a different way.  As the months went on, she started to be able to have the confidence to engage with old friends and family members, which had deteriorated as the time went on in school, to the point where she struggled to even get out of bed.  Future You and the patience and empathy from the staff helped in a huge way with this.

It's been an absolute privilege for me to have been able to see these students grow in confidence, and self belief. I couldn't be prouder of the resilience and effort they have put into overcoming challenges. It's been  utterly heart-warming to witness moments of completely unguarded joy and happiness. With the struggles they have already dealt with, and are currently dealing with in their young lives, it's a gift money can't buy.  It's such an amazing programme, but it's yourself and the rest of the future you team that have made it so special. Our students are so much richer for these experiences, will be able to draw upon them to reach future goals, and will have memories to last a lifetime.

I just wanted to update you on J's progress, and how well the home schooling has worked for him so far.  It has had a significant positive effect on his anxiety and assisted in greatly reducing the tics - he feels a great release from the stress of trying to prepare for the day in school amongst his peers.

They like that they are able to stay at home, as school is scary, but Future You means they are still able to learn which makes them happy. All the teachers are lovely and helpful. By learning online, it is less distracting, and the benefits of small groups means they feel that their views and ideas are heard and appreciated by everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
We wanted to extend a huge thank you to you for the work and time you have invested into our young person. Since working directly with you we have seen huge strides forward in his confidence, autonomy and self-belief and this is testament to the fantastic influence you have brought into his life. You are a positive male role model who recognises and celebrates him as an individual.

You have stood firm in advocacy for A, even in times when staff have felt unsure of activities etc and this has resulted in nothing but positive outcomes for him.

Alongside the work you have done with A, you have also gone above and beyond to include D (another YP in the home) in opportunities, this is above and beyond the expectations of your involvement. We are incredibly thankful to have you working with our young people, contributing to their lives and our team.
