Futuready
Futuready is an innovative and unique programme designed to help students, make better choices to improve their life-chances. Sponsored and supported by Hastings Direct in partnership with Graham Moore from Metamoorephosis, this new approach helps motivate and inspire young people to become the very best version they can be.
The programme is delivered across three diverse days, each student is guided through the course by a dedicated Hastings colleague who will have received training to work with young people to become business mentor. The business mentors are able to share their own personal journeys, successes and failures with the students and groups and bring the real world of employment directly into the lives of the young people.
We continue to donate £10 to the Pink Ribbon Foundation, a women’s breast cancer charity, for every new business policy sold under our InsurePink brand.
