Reds10 Social Value Report 2024

Inspiring The Next Generation: The Future of our Industry

Student Engagement at Construction Youth Trust: Over the last year, Reds10 have built a strong partnership with Construction Youth Trust, a charity that supports young people in accessing careers in construction and the built environment through connection with employers. Our team have been volunteering with their Barking and Dagenham Team, to deliver careers sessions to students, focusing on different career opportunities in the industry, as well as apprenticeships, CV writing and interview skills. We have already delivered 13 ssessions in 2024, with many more planned for the rest of the year. Partnerships are key to our work at Construction Youth Trust. We seek to enable young people to reach their full career potential by connecting them with employers and opportunities in the construction industry and we can only do this with the support of our network of employer partners. Reds10 has been generous in its support of our work with schools in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham since October 2022. In that time, it has contributed a total of 43 volunteer hours across four coaching programmes and two Building Future Skills programmes with four secondary schools. A total of 223 young people, of which over 40% were female, participated in sessions such as CV Masterclass, Mock Interviews, Applications Masterclass and Presentation Skills, all with the support of industry experts from Reds10. This support has been magnificent, and we are truly grateful to Reds10 for helping us make a difference for these young people. Wendy Heller, Senior Construction Skills Manager Construction Youth Trust “

It’s so rewarding to work with such talented students, seeing their enthusiasm for the construction industry and helping them focus and channel that enthusiasm towards a future career. Volunteering with the Construction Youth Trust is a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience, and an important one, to ensure we are supporting the future generation of our industry.
