Stevie donates proceeds of app to Social Enterprise

This week we launched our social enterprise – Inspire Academy. 

A social enterprise is a business that trades to tackle social problems, improve communities, people’s life chances or the environment.

By having a social enterprise company we will be able to help even more people achieve their dreams and any profits we make will be reinvested to do more good.

We are creating programmes that work with individuals, supporting them into sustained employment.

One of the groups of people we will be working with is the 16-24 age group. With almost one million young people unemployed in the UK we will be developing unique and life-changing programmes that work with the young people on their barriers to employment and on any complex support needs they may have.

We have a track record of achieving remarkable things through our holistic approach.

Group KDS Managing Director, Stevie Kidd this week pledged to donate the proceeds of every download of his app to Inspire Academy! This means that every time someone downloads our app the contribution will be used to design innovative programmes for youth. A huge gesture which will go a long way to supporting individuals into employment.

If you want to help with this and download our app you can do so at itunes.apple.com/us/app/instant-results/id442893462

It is another exciting time for the company and the opportunity to help more people is what we are all about and what we strive for.

Fantastic! As part of that youth age group, I understand and totally support what Stevie is doing to help the young people of today and agree that more should be done and people should do their bit by downloading the app!

Stevie - great stuff! Aside from my business, I''m a qualified Mountain Leader and have lots of experience of taking youngsters into the hills to challenge and stretch them physically, mentally and emotionally. I''ve seen dramatic changes occur in youngsters through the Army Cadet Force and the University OTCs where I''ve been an instructor. I would be happy to donate some of my time and experience in this contect if you think it would help? Best wishes Guy

A fantastic use of the proceeds of this app! As they say "We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future." The more money which is invested in programmes for youth, improving communities and improving people''s lives the better. Having previously been involved youth and community work I know how important Social Enterprises are to providing programmes that people want to engage with! Well done!
