About us

Who: We support vulnerable and under-confident young people who are struggling to engage at school. We work with our students for up to three years, supporting them to build aspiration and self-belief, and to reengage with learning and maximise their potential.

How: Our long-term Blue Skies programmes support students to build vital social and emotional learning skills (SEL) including teamwork, leadership and communication, in order that they reengage with education and strive for positive futures. 

Where: The Jon Egging Trust focuses on students facing adversity and living below the poverty line, and currently operates in partnership with schools across 12 counties of England and Wales. 

What:  Our in-house youth team supports students to develop confidence, self-worth and vital employability skills. We also harness the power of world-class STEM environments and the professional role models within them to allow students to broaden their horizons and build positive career aspirations.   

Why: Potential is everywhere, but opportunity is not. We strenuously believe that young people’s futures should never be limited by postcode or adverse childhood experience.
