ELEVATE Shortlisted for Local London VISTA Award

We are proud to announce that ELEVATE Youth Mentoring Programme has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Collaborative Learning Award category at the Local London Vocational Innovation in Skills Training Awards (VISTAs) 2026.

The VISTA Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in learning, skills training, employer engagement and education across the Local London partnership area, recognising organisations making a meaningful impact through collaboration and innovation.

ELEVATE has been recognised for its work supporting young people from mainstream schools, SEND settings and disadvantaged communities through mentoring, employability education and personal development programmes. Over the years, ELEVATE has worked with thousands of young people across the UK, helping them build confidence, develop key skills and access meaningful opportunities.

The awards ceremony will take place at the prestigious House of Lords on Thursday 18 June 2026.

We are incredibly grateful to our partner schools, councils, mentors, employers and young people who continue to support and shape our work. This recognition reflects the collective effort of everyone involved in creating opportunities and improving outcomes for young people.

Congratulations to all finalists and thank you to Local London and the VISTA Awards for this recognition.
