Quintessentially Foundation looks to improve the lives of young people. We do this by working with grassroots organisations in disadvantaged communities to help them grow and reach more people. We want every young person to have an opportunity to lead a healthy and productive life regardless of where they come from or their circumstance. We believe in nurturing ambition and talent and enabling young people to develop the resilience needed to achieve their dreams. During the pandemic, we know that small to medium sized charities have been a lifeline for so many young people and their families. And we know that these smaller organisations will continue to be crucial to families whose situations have been exacerbated over the last 18 months. We want to work alongside these smaller, grassroots organisations, shoulder to shoulder, to give them the resources they need to meet the demands of young people in their local community. So much has been lost in recent times - from loved ones to jobs and more - but we will not allow young people to lose their future, their resilience or their will to go on and play an important role in society.
