Friends Of Savick Library

03/06/2026

For young people aged 16 to 18 at Savick Library.

At First Kick Foundation, we know that every young person is different. That's why our Get Help With Your Next Step programme offers more than just careers advice or signposting, we believe careers support should be personal.

What Makes Us Different?

We don't just talk about opportunities - we help you create a plan to achieve them.

Our tailored sessions are designed around you. We'll take the time to understand who you are, what motivates you, how you learn best, and why certain pathways may or may not feel like the right fit.

• Creating a unique, professional CV that reflects your skills and personality
• Understanding apprenticeship opportunities and application processes
• Exploring career pathways that align with your interests and strengths
• Developing a personalised action plan with achievable goals

Together, we'll identify your strengths, build your confidence, and create a clear action plan that gives you direction and purpose.

Savick Library, Ashton-on-Ribble, Preston PR2 1UL
Every Wednesday | 11am – 4pm. Young people aged 16-18
