Access to the Future is Buttle UK’s newest grant programme, developed in partnership with Barclays, offering flexible funding to help improve the employability of disadvantaged young people.

Each bespoke package of support, worth up to £3000.00, could include the costs of training, equipment, clothing, personal development opportunities, licences, identification, travel or even starting a business.  It is the goal of the Access to the Future Programme to remove barriers that prevent a young person from accessing employment and give each grant recipient the opportunity to use their talents and motivations to move their life forward.

We can help young people who face multiple barriers to attainment and are:

•   Residing in the UK, with recourse to public funds.

•   Aged between 18 and 25.

•   Working with a support work professional from a suitable referral agency.

•   Unemployed or Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) for a period of at least 6 months.

•   Not yet qualified to Level 2 standard (equivalent to 5 GCSE’s at grade A-C standard).

•   In financial hardship and do not have entitlement to statutory funding.
