Pie
PIE: Pursuing Individual Excellence is an educational social enterprise established in 2017, supporting women and young people across the North of England. PIE runs programmes in schools and community projects to develop skills in communication, digital literacy, project management, and community engagement. They collaborate with the local councils, schools, and charities to ensure broader support. Key initiatives include leading the Stockport Youth Alliance, supporting care leavers, and running social action projects and wellbeing programmes for young people.
What will the Kao SEED Fund support?
The Kao SEED Fund will help expand the L!STEN Youth Alliance's social action project, enabling 12 young people to lead initiatives based on data gathered from monthly surveys on key issues, such as climate change. They will receive coaching in skills like confidence, goal-setting, and social action, which will empower them to create meaningful change. Their work will be shared with local schools and community leaders to ensure their voices and impact are recognised.
