Talent is everywhere, opportunity isn’t
The John Lewis Partnership was founded on the belief that when you raise everyone up and give them access to the same opportunities, society thrives and so does business. Our Building Happier Futures programme aims to drive change for and unlock the potential of people who’ve experienced care. This includes an employability offer such as work experience, interview support and apprenticeships.
Who do we support?
We are a proud signatory of the Care Leavers Covenant,
We support anyone in or who has been in the care of a local authority at any stage in their life, no matter the duration of their time in care. This includes adopted people who were previously in care. This care may have been provided in one of many different settings, such as in residential care, foster care, kinship care, or through being looked after at home under the supervision of a social worker.
