NXT Ladder Up
We are delighted to support NXT Ladder UP - a registered charity that enables access to sports arts and education where there are barriers to participation. NXT Level has its roots in community interest and although the charity and limited company have gone in their own directions since our early days as a CIC, we try and live up to our legacy of building community and driving social mobility through our day to day operations, and in supporting the charity directly witrh access to spaces, expertise and connections.
Charity Number: 1215627
Access
Free and affordable opportunities in sport, the arts and educational enrichment.
We create, fund, enable or partner on activity that young people might otherwise miss.
Sometimes we deliver standalone, sometimes we work through schools, other charities, and community partners. Either way, young people get involved.
CLIMB is our personal development framework.
How sessions are run, the relationships young people form, the responsibility they’re given, how they reflect, and the way progress is recognised, all help shape them as people and their sense of belonging.
Designed by experienced educational leaders with expertise in personal development, Mental Health and Wellbeing, and Pastoral care. CLIMB is evidence informed and adaptable enough that it can be delivered by Ladder Up, through funded projects, in schools or alongside partner organisations.
Process
Success
Our only aim is for young people to leave us better placed to shape what happens next for them.
That might mean a qualification, a place in education or training, a job, a leadership or volunteering role, work experience, progression through a partner organisation — or developing an idea of their own.
It’s not for us to make judgements, it’s for us to support and where appropriate we do just that; helping launch ideas, writing references, using our network - anything that can help our alumni reach the next rung on their Ladder Up.
