Stronger together - building confidence

It rarely begins with a crisis. More often, it starts quietly.

With a young person who can’t quite find where they belong. Standing on the edges — held back by money, by social barriers, or simply because no one ever opened the door.

Stronger together-Building Confidence begins with a simple but powerful idea:
to give young people a place where they are seen, where they can try, fail — and discover that they belong.

About the project

Stronger together - building confidence is an inclusion project led by Springbrett for ungdom, targeting young people aged 13–25 who face barriers to participation. Through free and low-threshold activities in culture, sports and practical skills, the project creates safe spaces for connection, development and belonging.

By combining creative expression, physical activity and life skills, the project strengthens confidence, social inclusion and future opportunities.

What the funding from the Kavli Trust will support

The Kavli Trust’s funding will go directly to activities that make a tangible difference in young people’s everyday lives, including:

• Cultural activities such as songwriting and theatre
• Low-threshold sports programmes
• Life skills training (first aid, financial literacy, cooking)
• Inclusive summer programmes
• Youth participation through leadership roles and work training

The focus is on practical, accessible initiatives that build confidence, belonging and long-term opportunities.
