What FIND YOUR FEET DIGITAL LIMITED does

Find Your Feet Digital Limited (trading as Find Your Feet CIC / Find Your Feet Careers & Enterprises) is a UK-registered Community Interest Company founded in 2020 by Emmanuel Balogun and headquartered in London. The organisation delivers digital skills, employability, creative-industry access, and wellbeing programmes for underrepresented communities in London, with a primary focus on NEET young people aged 16-30, Global Majority women and girls, care-experienced youth, and at-risk individuals in boroughs such as Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Westminster, and Merton. Its service portfolio is organised into three core pillars — Community Engagement (e.g., the MET Community Event, violence reduction work), Health and Wellbeing (e.g., the WE ARE GEMS programme with Nike and Spotify, Cost of Living Support), and Employability (e.g., Get Crazy Creative, the NBC Internship Mixer, the Level Up Programme, Creative and Digital Bootcamp) — supplemented by a Corporate Training line that sells bespoke DEI workshops, cultural competence training, event management, and mentorship to enterprise clients. All participant-facing programmes are delivered free of charge, with incentives such as £100 completion payments and London Living Wage (£13.15/hr) paid internships.

The organisation does not operate a proprietary technology platform; programmes are delivered through in-person workshops, virtual sessions, and digital content creation (video, podcasting, photography) using third-party platforms for course delivery and standard social media channels (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn) for marketing and community engagement. Distribution is primarily direct to participants, augmented by referrals from local councils, the Metropolitan Police, community organisations, and influencer networks (e.g., Adeola Patronne, Tom Dodd).

FYF's revenue model combines (1) grant funding from the Greater London Authority (GLA), Skills for Londoners, the Mayor of London's Violence Reduction Unit, and Next Us; (2) tiered corporate sponsorships (Bronze through Platinum, plus Bespoke) from NBCUniversal, HSBC, Nike, Spotify, Amazon, Omnicom Media Group, the National Trust, the King's Trust, and the Prince's Trust; (3) commissioned corporate training and event management services; and (4) individual donations. Headcount is 1-10 employees, and the organisation has supported over 1,200 people and engaged 3,970+ participants since inception, reporting transition-to-work rates of 25%+ and 92% confidence gains on its Level Up cohort.

Core offering

Find Your Feet CIC is a London-based social enterprise delivering in-person and virtual employability, digital skills, creative, and wellbeing programmes to underrepresented young people (aged 11-30) across London boroughs. It also sells bespoke corporate training, event management, and mentorship services to enterprise clients seeking DEI, talent pipeline, and social impact outcomes. All programmes are funded via grants, corporate sponsorship (Bronze-Platinum tiers), and commissioned services.

Product overview

Find Your Feet CIC operates as a single integrated social enterprise rather than a modular software platform. The organisation delivers a portfolio of in-person community programmes across three core pillars: Community Engagement (MET Community Events, At Risk Groups), Health & Wellbeing (WE ARE GEMS with Nike/Spotify, Cost of Living Support), and Employability (Get Crazy Creative, NBC Internship Mixer, Level Up, Early Careers, Creative & Digital Bootcamp). These are complemented by corporate services including bespoke training, event management, and mentorship initiatives. The programmes are delivered through partnerships with companies (NBCUniversal, Amazon, HSBC, Nike, Spotify) and local councils (Lambeth, Lewisham, Westminster) rather than through a software product. No AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or technical integrations are offered.

Direct peers

• Generation You Employed (UK): Global nonprofit offering free, employer-aligned training programmes for unemployed young adults into careers in tech, healthcare, and creative industries. Comparable in target beneficiary, employer-funded model, and outcomes-based delivery.

• Speakers for Schools: UK charity connecting state school students with work experience, employer talks, and career pathways. Comparable mission around social mobility and corporate-employer partnerships targeting disadvantaged youth.
• The Prince's Trust: UK's largest youth charity focused on employability, education, and personal development for 11–30-year-olds facing disadvantage. Directly comparable mission, beneficiary age range, and London delivery model — FYF is also a formal Prince's Trust partner.
• Catch22: UK social business delivering employability, education, and social services for disadvantaged groups including NEET young people. Comparable in mission, beneficiary profile, government-commissioned delivery model, and London borough operations.
• Movement to Work: UK consortium of employers and providers tackling youth unemployment through work-placement programmes. Comparable target beneficiary (NEET young people), employer-led model, and government-recognised delivery framework.

Regional players

• London Youth: UK charity supporting youth organisations across London with funding, training, and networks. Comparable London-only focus and target beneficiary, but operates as an umbrella/membership organisation rather than direct programme delivery.

Others

Emerging players
