Youth Zone launches business community campaign

Vault Youth Zone has launched a campaign to engage the local and regional business community and highlight the role it can play in supporting Preston's young people.

The Building Preston's Future campaign will showcase how investing in young people is also an investment in Preston's workforce, community and long-term economic prosperity.

Through the initiative, Vault Youth Zone aims to secure financial support, build strategic partnerships and encourage long-term engagement from organisations across sectors including SMEs, corporate businesses, property development, construction, retail and professional services.

Gaby Ingham, head of fundraising and communications, said: "Every day at Vault Youth Zone, we work with young people who have incredible talent, ambition and potential.

"But many face challenges that can hold them back from reaching their goals.

"By investing in young people now, businesses can help build a stronger local economy, develop future talent and create opportunities that benefit the whole community.

"We're looking for organisations that want to invest in Preston's future and leave a lasting legacy for the next generation."

The campaign forms part of Vault Youth Zone's long-term ambition to play a key role in Preston's sustainable economic development by supporting young people while enabling businesses to make a lasting contribution to the city's future.
