The Arrival youth development programme aims to transform social mobility outcomes for 16 -18-year-olds through a series of skills workshops and one-to-one coaching sessions at the Investec offices.  

This year, Investec celebrated 15 years of successful partnership with Arrival. With the support of over 500 employees, this enduring partner has significantly impacted the lives of over 2,500 young people by empowering them to unlock their potential and pursue fulfilling careers. With over 10,000 hours of volunteering completed, we are proud of the dedication of our people in helping to shape the careers of aspiring young people and their contribution to championing diversity and inclusion within the workplace.

Morpeth School is a mixed comprehensive school in Tower Hamlets, east London. It serves young people aged 11 to 19 who reflect the diversity of the local community. We’ve supported Morpeth School since 2002, helping pupils to develop skills, overcome barriers they may face and achieve their life goals. Our support extends to helping fund the morning breakfast club which provides all pupils attending Morpeth School with a nourishing breakfast every morning. For the third consecutive year we have partnered with Future Frontiers to deliver a four-week career coaching programme for 18 pupils in year-10 attending Morpeth.

Over the course of the program, 16 Investec employees volunteered to take part in 4 one on-one coaching sessions and provided young people with an invaluable space to explore their interests, discover inspiring careers, connect with experts in their chosen career industry and plan for their transition into high-quality post-16 education or training. Over the past financial year, Investec volunteers donated more than 90 hours of their time coaching the pupils in-person, which has led to significant improvement of pupil career readiness.
