Welcome to the Warnborough Foundation - Helping young people build confidence, skills, and real pathways into work

The Warnborough Foundation supports disadvantaged young people in the UK through mentoring, practical training, and work experience that leads to real opportunities.

Too many young people are left behind

Across the UK, thousands of young people leave education without the confidence, skills, or support networks needed to move into work.

Many face uncertainty, low self-belief, and limited access to real opportunities. Without intervention, they risk long-term unemployment and disengagement.

From practical support to real outcomes

COMPASS: A structured programme designed to help young people move from uncertainty to direction.

What it delivers:

  • Builds confidence and motivation
  • Develops real-world employability skills
  • Provides mentoring and personal guidance
  • Connects participants with work experience and opportunities

Why your support matters

Early intervention can change the trajectory of a young person’s life. With the right guidance, skills, and opportunities, young people can move into meaningful work and contribute positively to their communities.

From Uncertainty to Direction

"Before joining the programme, I didn’t know what I wanted to do or where to start. The support I received helped me build confidence and gain real experience. I’m now at College studying towards a qualification in ICT."
