At Seymour Taylor, we are thrilled to announce our new charity of the year for 2025: the Young Futures Fund. Aligned with the Heart of Bucks, this fund is dedicated to empowering and supporting the next generation within our local community.
The Young Futures Fund brings together local financial resources to give young people the power to make impactful decisions about the distribution of grants that will shape the projects and initiatives on offer in Buckinghamshire for the next generation. The charity has its own board made up of local young individuals who make the decisions on how the grants are spent by assessing the requests made by individuals and organizations working with young people in Buckinghamshire.
Joanne Kingsnorth, Joint Managing Director at Seymour Taylor, said, “When choosing a charity to fundraise for, we were particularly impressed by the Young Futures Fund’s participatory approach, which entrusts the decision-making process to young people, for young people. This was a key factor in our decision to support the Young Futures Fund in 2025. Empowering young people to aid the next generation is fantastic for individual development, which is something we are deeply passionate about at Seymour Taylor.”
Henry Allmand, CEO of Heart of Bucks, said, “We are delighted to have the support of Seymour Taylor for the Young Futures Fund project. Working directly with local young people, we are distributing charitable grants to the causes and groups that young people care about. Seymour Taylor is making a significant and generous contribution to this work, and we are extremely grateful to have their ongoing support and partnership in 2025.”
The team at Seymour Taylor has set an ambitious fundraising target of £10,000. Look out for our fundraising updates and events throughout 2025.
