Future Pathways (Buckinghamshire)
What is Future Pathways?
Future Pathways is a free programme which has been running in Swindon since 2021 and Berkshire since 2022. In 2023, we partnered with Buckinghamshire New University to expand the programme into Buckinghamshire.
Future Pathways Buckinghamshire helps care experienced young people in years 9-13 learn about the educational pathways available to them after they leave school. It also gives them the opportunity to socialise with other young people in similar circumstances.
Who is it for?
The programme is aimed at care experienced young people in years 9-13 in Buckinghamshire.
How much does it cost?
Future Pathways is completely FREE to attend, including transport and all refreshments.
