Futureversity was originally piloted in 1995 by Lord Michael Young as a crime prevention initiative. It aims to promote independent learning; raise achievement; promote racial tolerance and good community relations; increase access to educational opportunities through creative partnerships between all sectors – statutory, voluntary, business and industry, and to involve young people in the organisation’s development. Their vision is a world where all young people are valued and fulfil their true potential. Their mission is to open doors for young people through unconventional learning and innovative partnerships. Their largest area of work is the Summer Programme of free, high quality taster courses and activities, responding to local skills needs and the needs of young people. The courses combine academic and vocational study, job readiness assistance, volunteering initiatives and personal development. Their programmes are inclusive and open to all young people between the ages of 11-25. They attract many marginalised and disadvantaged youth from Tower Hamlets and the surrounding areas. They combine the expertise and resources available locally to offer unique high-quality experiences.


Futureversity successfully applied for a grant to fund those 2012 summer courses relevant to the hotel, catering and tourism industry. This enabled them to provide 10 courses consisting of 160 hours of tuition to 169 young people between the ages of 11 and 25 in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The courses were Tourism and Customer Care, International Cookery, 2 x Cake Making and Decoration, Chinese Cuisine, Thai Cookery, Thai Fruit Carving, Telephone Techniques, Young Master Chef, CIEH Level 2 Food Hygiene. In their evaluation, Futureversity reported that all the planned outcomes highlighted in their application were achieved.

The seminars seek to help combat society’s binge drinking tendency and to inform of its effects on the mind and body of the young vulnerable members of the future hospitality workforce. In supporting the Ark Foundation the Trustees acknowledge that drug and alcohol abuse,
