many brilliant summer courses to choose from!

Packed with fantastic activities, this residential

Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose and the Lizard
Lighthouse — the most southerly point in Britain
(where you’ll be staying!).
In the second week you’ll stay in London and
go on a tour of the city’s top maritime firms and
attractions, including The Baltic Exchange, Lloyds
of London, Tate & Lyle, the Thames Barrier, the

Working with Ty Newydd, The National Writers
Centre for Wales, and the internationally acclaimed
Sable LitMag, this is an exciting residential course
which aims to challenge, inspire and transform
your writing! The week-long course will be held
at Ty Newydd, the last home of the Prime Minister
Lloyd George (1916–22), which is a 16th century
house set in wooded surroundings, with beautiful
secluded gardens and stunning views over
Cardigan Bay!
All creative writers will get loads out of this course.
Fiction writers will be encouraged to think about
characters and plot — and whether there are
enough real stories for young people out there —
and budding poets will learn about imagery and
how to make their words come alive. Working
with professional writers, you’ll generate lots of
new material to kickstart your writing career.
The course is open to young people at any stage
of their writing lives. More information will be
made available regarding times and content
nearer to the time and you’ll be expected to
attend a briefing and selection session.

The first step to becoming a paid Youth Assessor is to complete our accredited
Communication Skills course. It’s fun and free and will give you essential skills and

Futureversity is going places
We started off as a small Tower Hamlets charity in 1995, but our model was so
successful that in 2006 we were commissioned by the government to roll it out
across London. Two years later our network was running free summer courses for
young people in every single London borough!
This massive expansion brought with it a need to develop a strong brand that
could hold its own and reflect our dynamic and innovative work.
We completed the rebrand in 2010, which was celebrated in a launch attended
by patron and former student Dizzee Rascal, and we’re now in the process of
talking with other boroughs across the capital to get them on board.
Meanwhile, we’ve been approached to work in cities as far reaching as
Manchester and Glasgow, and even had enquiries from Egypt and Nigeria!
And there are other exciting developments too. The Job Ready Programme is
now running in West London and we’re piloting a brand new 4-week
environmental volunteer programme called Eco Challenge Xtra. This is part of
National Citizen Service, a Big Society initiative supporting young people to take
on new challenges and make a difference in their local communities.
In fact, there are always exciting opportunities for young people at
Futureversity, so don’t forget to stay updated at www.futureversity.org to find
out what’s going on.
After all, this is the place where things can happen.
71
our vision: A world where all young people are valued
and fulfil their potential.
our mission: to open doors for young people
through unconventional learning and
innovative partnerships.
All donations welcome!
Futureversity believes that all young people deserve the chance to be the best they can
be, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
This is why we insist that our courses are free.
Although we don’t charge young people, it costs up to £250 to fund a student on a
Summer Programme course and up to £3,000 for a student to complete our Job Ready
Programme. Demand for Futureversity’s key programmes is five times higher than the
charity can currently meet.
This is why we need your help!
You can make a donation towards Futureversity through
www.justgiving.com/futureversity or send a cheque made payable to Futureversity to
the following address:
Futureversity, ground Floor, 24-26 Fournier street, london E1 6QE
You can even donate by text!
Make a difference without breaking the bank! You can now donate £1, £2, £5
or £10 to Futureversity by text. Just text FVST02 and the amount you want to give
(eg FVST02 £10) to 70070. All texts are free and Futureversity will receive 100%

how organisations and private donors can help
If you or your organisation want to be part of our ambitious future, we would love your
support. You can do this in various ways – through a donation, payroll giving or selecting
us as your Charity of the Year. Although we obviously welcome financial support, you
can help us in other ways too. You could offer us meeting rooms or venues to run our
activities and events or why not run a course for us, like our partners Barclays Capital
and National Express, or provide mentors for our staff and young people?
We welcome all new ideas and would love to talk to you.
