“This report reflects not only the scale and breadth of Hello Future’s work over the course of nine years, but also our commitment to understanding the difference that our work makes for young people in Cumbria. Our research and evaluation journey has challenged us to continually ask what works, for whom and in what circumstances, and to use that learning to shape and strengthen our approach. It has also reinforced the importance of understanding our findings within the changing contexts in which young people make decisions about their futures. Most importantly, the evidence demonstrates the value of sustained, targeted and meaningful engagement in supporting young people across Cumbria to understand their options, build confidence and see Higher Education as a realistic pathway for their future.” Lisa Jackson Programme Manager, Hello Future
