Building Brighter Futures Fund

In the heart of communities across the UK lies the untapped potential of countless young minds. The Building Brighter Futures Fund aims to ignite the dreams of these often-overlooked youths. We support UK charities, Community Interest Companys (CICs) and small groups set up for charitable purposes that share the belief by funding employment, education or health and social care projects that help local young people to see and reach their full potential.

INSPIRING THE
NEXT GENERATION

Recylabots

Earth’s natural resources are under threat; it is estimated that sources of virgin metals could run out within a century, yet demand continues to increase. Educating children at an early age on the benefits of recycling can be a powerful tool for encouraging vital, long-term changes in behaviour.

Focussing on 8 to 12-year-olds, we have developed several initiatives aimed at inspiring the next generation. These include:

Recyclabots: A schools' educational programme in partnership with Currys PC World; part of EMR's programme to inspire the next generation.

“We want to inspire children to make positive environmental changes by recycling metal and old or unused tech, such as phones, hair dryers and household waste metal. With our ‘Recyclabots’ schools programme, children can learn about the importance of metals and the programme will inform a generation who we hope will make recycling a natural part of their everyday life.”

EMR sites support their local areas by enabling staff to take part and support their local community clean up events. It is incredible just how much waste can be collected; often several huge skips can be filled in a day!
