Open Doors. Change Lives.
LifeLit works with young people of all abilities, including those with additional needs, to build the skills, confidence, and real-world readiness they need for life after school. Our programme combines practical life skills, personal development, and workplace preparation in a way that is engaging, inclusive, and directly linked to the opportunities young people will encounter.
We believe in building long-term relationships, not just with the young people we serve but with the partners who make our work possible. By journeying with us, your organisation can help shape the future workforce while creating genuine opportunities for those who need them most. Together, we can co-create programme content that reflects the skills and knowledge your sector is looking for, whether that is customer service, teamwork, problem-solving, digital literacy, or something entirely unique to your industry.

Strong ROI from Social Impact
Social Return on Investment (SROI) frameworks consistently demonstrate that youth mentoring programs generate substantial value that exceeds the cost, especially through reduced social service usage and long-term economic uplift. Investing in LifeLit means investing in measurable outcomes - not just good intentions. (Twenty Twenty, 2014).

Improved Employee Engagement & Retention
Corporate volunteering programs have been proven to increase employee retention by up to 52% and create more pleasant workplace environments. Engaged employees are more productive, loyal, and satisfied - benefiting your bottom line. (Benevity, 2022).

Enhanced Mentoring Boosts Productivity
Organisations with mentoring programs outperform peers. Among Fortune 500 firms, companies with such programs saw double the median profits of those without. This is not just training - it’s strategic talent development. (MentorcliQ, 2021).

Win with Inclusion and Social Mobility
while socio-economically diverse firms outperform others by up to 36%. Supporting marginalised youth drives inclusion and pays off. Greater social mobility could be worth £1.8 billion in business profits and £6.8 billion in tax revenue. (Demos & Co-operative Group, 2021).

Tangible Brand & ESG Value
Your partnership enables you to report measurable social impact, boosting your ESG and CSR credentials. This gives you credibility in procurement, investor relations, and community impact - all framed by a structured not-for-profit delivery (Compass Support Services CIC).
