The KFC Youth Foundation creates opportunities for young people that inspire and empower them to take control of their lives and make positive change for a positive future.
The organisations we work with provide spaces that allow young people to feel safe and secure, helping them to unlock talent, build life skills, provide mentoring or improve their chances to gain meaningful employment. We want to fund work that helps young people to create firm foundations, by addressing their needs through early intervention.
We are also dipping our toe into becoming a service delivery partner, opening our own youth hubs.
The KFC Youth Foundation is the corporate foundation that was setup in 2015 and is financially supported by KFC UK&I. The KFC Youth Foundation is a registered charity.
Funny you should ask, we have been making grants and donations for a while now but it is our ambition to become a service delivery organisation; starting with our very first youth Hub which as just opened in Middlesbrough.
It’s not the Foundation’s area of expertise, however, we’d love to direct to KFC’s employment Programme, called Hatch, which support young people who’ve faced employment barriers to land their first job. It’s an amazing opportunity for 16–24-year-olds to develop skills and kick-start their careers. You can find out more about KFC’s Hatch programme here.
As you can imagine, we are often asked if we can provide KFC and KFC vouchers and unfortunately, we are not able to do this.
If you are interested in finding out more about food donation, we can certainly direct you to KFC’s food donation programme in partnership with FareShare here.
