“Since joining Impetus, I have frequently been struck by the exceptional knowledge, skills and determination of my colleagues. So many people are determined to create a fairer future for the next generation, however what sets Impetus staff apart is how they approach this challenge in a strategic and clever way which in turn enables our partner organisations to excel and more young people to succeed.”

“When I volunteered with one of our partner organisations at an East London school, I saw that they had made a remarkable difference to young people - improving their grades at school and future aspirations. The charity was clear: they increased their impact by working with Impetus. This has given me confidence that the money I raise from donors really is a great investment.”

"At Impetus we're lucky enough to work with a lot of people who care deeply about making things better - who want to improve lives and create opportunities, to make society fairer. What I find inspiring is that we know we have the tools to achieve that, to translate those good intentions into real change and deliver on our mission."

"I feel very strongly that all young people deserve access to the opportunities and support they need to fulfil their potential and have seen firsthand the incredible impact charities can have. I love the way Impetus works with charities to offer transformative funding and support."

“Coming from a small education charity working with young people, I was truly inspired by the incredible work that Impetus do to support such a diverse range of organisations, each uniquely helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed. Since joining I’ve been struck by how passionate and intelligent everyone is and I’m looking forward to being part of such a great team driving for change.”

“In my previous role as a teacher, I saw first-hand the inequalities and barriers young people from disadvantaged backgrounds face. It is exciting to now be part of a highly motivated team which is tackling these inequalities head on by finding, building and supporting great organisations with interventions that work.”

"The best thing about working at Impetus is the team's strong commitment to helping disadvantaged young people succeed. Every young person deserves to achieve their full potential so being part of a dedicated and compassionate team that helps organisations improve their services and reach more young people is truly inspiring​."

“From my very first day at Impetus, the drive to reach as many young people as possible through our portfolio partners was clear. Small pockets of great practice are not enough. All young people are deserving of the chance to succeed, no matter the barriers they face. The Impetus model is unique in its ability to do that. I am proud to be part of such a dedicated team of people.”

"Within my first few days at Impetus, I attended a workshop that one of our donors was hosting and it was incredible to see such a buzz in the room. Everyone gave their all to the day and the young people left with a real sense of being able to achieve anything. It was amazing to be a part of and I love being able to share these moments with our donors and portfolio partners."

"‘Working with a team of such dedicated and passionate individuals is truly inspirational and I feel blessed to be in a team that strives towards enabling young people to be their best selves despite some of the challenges. I love being able to share the opportunity of impacting the lives of young people through volunteering, working with our donors and portfolio partners alike!”

“I have always been keen to help young people and give back. Here at Impetus, I have been able to do that. Whether it has been indirectly with our events or directly through engagement opportunities, I've loved interacting with and supporting the young people we serve. To do this as part of such a supportive and driven team has been great!”

"I loved visiting a portfolio partner where I met a classroom of 10 year olds full of excitement to learn about going to university. Each child was filled with confidence that they could achieve anything. These real-life outcomes are front and centre of the Impetus model. I know I’m part of an organisation that has a crystal-clear focus on irrevocably transforming the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds."

"I joined Impetus because we live in a deeply unequal society. Impetus and its partner organisations don't think that's fair and show that transformational change is possible with the right support. I'm hugely motivated to build relationships that can catalyse that change and enable more young people to thrive."

“I'm excited to not only support young people to reach and realise their potential but also to support amazing organisations to strengthen and grow so they can expand their reach and potential too.”
