The Aldridge Foundation uses entrepreneurship as a catalyst for young people to create lasting social change for them and their communities.
We do this by
- Empowering young people to direct their own lives, raise their aspirations and change their future for the better.
- Creating opportunities for young people that develop skills and support them to achieve excellence.
- Building new partnerships and challenging current structures, thus enabling young people to realise their potential.
