What might a whole education town look like?

Honor Wilson-Fletcher MBE CEO, The Aldridge Foundation

A successful community is an entrepreneurial community

‘Youth and education, in particular, are critical factors for the future. In large part, the education system is seen as failing to equip young people with the skills, aptitude and opportunities to thrive in a more uncertain and volatile world.’

Pegasus Programme

The Aldridge Foundation has set up the Pegasus programme to work with groups and individuals who either live, study or work in the communities that surround the two academies in Brighton and Hove.

This programme hopes to;

■engage more and different local people in getting involved and taking part

■help raise awareness of local support, resources and funding already available

■help pool local resources to create a greater impact and avoid repetition

This is done through two initiatives: ‘Turn Your Ideas Into Action’ and ‘The Pegasus Award’.
