Aspirations for the New Year 

We’re starting this year with a focus on aspirations!

The New Year is a time when lots of us look to make a fresh start. We love the sense of purpose that comes with the 1st  January – a new start, new goals and new plans.  

However, many of us create a list of resolutions… to become fitter/smarter/stronger/richer… which can be rigid and tough to stick to. 

So, we’re reframing the season as a time of aspirations, not resolutions! 

Here’s why we love the idea of New Year’s Aspirations… 

  • Aspirations are about hope, ambition and long-term goals. It’s not a case of passing or failing.  
  • Aspirations are about the journey- when we think about our aspirations, we visualise the future and take small steps to get there.  
  • Aspirations are kinder than resolutions. We get to enjoy the direction of travel rather than focusing only on the end result. 
  • Aspirations encourage us to dream bigger!  

Our aspirations for 2025…  

  • Connect with more schools to open up the world to more primary school children, in new areas, to help them develop aspirations they didn’t know were possible! 
  • Grow our network of Aspiration Partners who help to inspire change in communities by funding our programmes. We couldn’t do it without you!  
  • Create more ‘lightbulb moments’ than ever before – and share them with you on our web, socials and newsletters so we can celebrate together.  
  • Meet more likeminded people who support our vision to close the skills gap and help young people, no matter their background, achieve success and contribute to thriving communities.  
  • More joy this year! We love creating joyful moments for adults and children who get involved in our programmes.  

What do you think? Have we persuaded you to turn your focus to aspirations instead of resolutions? Do you want to create more joy with us?  

Let’s make a real difference together. Get in touch today!
