Last September, the audience at the Recruiter Awards generously bid on numerous auction prizes on the night to support our Charity of the Year, employability partner Leadership Through Sport and Business (LTSB).

Funding and development manager Jenny Venning said: “We received the fantastic amount of £10,368 as proceeds from the Recruiter Awards night. It’s such a huge amount, and we are delighted to have this wonderful boost to our income at this time of year!”

LTSB is a social mobility youth charity, which helps give disadvantaged young people an entrance into a world of work they might never have thought they could enter.

Venning explained how the money would be used to help support the young people they work with: “The funds will be used to deliver our current autumn programmes, helping 80 bright, young people who face multiple barriers to work, into high quality, well-paid roles with major firms in business and finance, marketing and law.

“The funds will support the delivery of the pre-employment bootcamps and will help provide a fantastic portfolio of experiences we are able to offer them. Just last week [in December], for example, our London-based marketing cohort of young people spent the day at Google and YouTube’s impressive offices in Kings Cross, receiving inspiring talks and tours with key members of their marketing team.”

LTSB will also be Recruiter’s charity partner for the Investing in Talent Awards, to be held at the Brewery on 30 January.
