After three weeks on the road visiting 15 schools across the country, UrbanPlan UK has now been successfully delivered to over 300 pupils. We are delighted to report that teachers and students have been overwhelmingly positive about the experience:

 “Thank you very much for your help and support in organising UrbanPlan – the students and the department were very complimentary of the project, your ambassadors and the resources sent through.  We have even had some students change career plans as a result of Urban Plans input!!” St Andrews, Croydon

I just wanted to thank you again for the excellent day you and your Urban Planning team provided our students yesterday. The students often lack confidence and can be nervous or reluctant to face new challenges and yet they were active and engaged throughout your session. From a mentoring perspective, it was brilliant to see, even in such a short period of time, the impact it has made on all students’ aspirations- many of them now want to work in the Property Development industry! They were incredibly positive about the day and it was a pleasure to be involved.’’ Bishop Challoner School, London

Take a look at our photos and Twitter #urbanplanuk.

As the dust only just settles on this cycle, we are already planning ahead for 2016 and hope to be in at least another ten schools in the Spring. Thereafter, we are aiming to deliver in 40 schools a year from the start of the academic year 2016 – as long as we can secure the funding! With that in mind if you organisation isn’t already a funder and you think they might be interested then do please let us know [email protected]. And if you would like to volunteer next year please email [email protected].

Thanks to our wonderful funders and supporters for helping to make this happen: Almacantar; Black Heart Foundation; British Land; Changing the Face of Property; Hammerson; Investment Property Forum Educational Trust; Land Securities; Perkins and Will; RTPI; Strutt and Parker; The Westminster Foundation on behalf of Grosvenor; Tishman Speyer; Tristan Foundation; ULI Charitable Trust; and ULI Foundation.
