Thinking about your future?

No matter what stage you’re at, we’re here to give you the help and support you need as you start to make plans for
your future.

Aged 13 to 25? RSBC Futures could be for you.

Maybe you already know what you want to do. Get a paid job, become a volunteer, run your own business, take up an apprenticeship, or go into further or higher education. Or perhaps you aren’t yet sure what the future might look like for you?

No problem! At RSBC, our Futures service can be by your side to guide and support you as you start to make those plans.

Whether you’re making choices about your GCSE subjects, starting to think about your next steps in education, or planning your employed or volunteer role, we can help you reach your goals.

What’s next?

Access support from an RSBC coach, meet other young people through workshops, get help writing your CV, practice for interviews, or get more confident managing money and travelling independently.

Futures activities and events

We host a range of activities and events designed to support you in building skills that will help you to take the next steps in your future journey, including independent living skills sessions, social events and assistive technology sessions.

We also have a range of workshops for parents and carers who may want to find out more about how they can support their young person as they look to the future.
