INTRODUCTION

The Wood Foundation (“TWF”) is committed to working in collaboration with our partner schools to empower our young people, develop key skills, and enable vital local grant-making at a time of acute need. Following a challenging academic year, we firmly believe that, together, we can deliver a programme in 2021/22 which is rooted in real ambition and driven by school communities that are supported to realise the multitude of benefits that YPI presents.

By committing to delivering YPI, you are providing a vital empowerment opportunity for your students, through which they will develop important skills via a creative, hands-on, real-world learning experience, whilst distributing a £3000 charitable award within our communities.

The following form outlines the terms and conditions of engagement, alongside requests relating to practical information related to delivery model, estimated timeline, and key contacts. Please have this information available.
