We need Bankside businesses to help deliver Bankside Futures, a career discovery programme for young people aged 16 – 18 who study or live in Southwark.

Come along to this breakfast briefing to learn more about the crucial role that volunteers play and the range of ways you and your organisation can get involved – from offering sector insights to running skills workshops or supporting mock interviews and networking sessions.

At the event, you’ll hear from Sculpt UK, our delivery partner, about the different volunteering opportunities available and the support available to make getting involved easy and enjoyable for everyone.  Whether you’re new to Bankside Futures or have taken part before, all are welcome.

There will also be time to network with fellow Bankside businesses over tea, coffee and pastries.
