More about Human Practice Foundation:
Human Practice Foundation (HPF) is an International NGO, founded in Denmark in 2014 by former corporate lawyer and HPF CEO, Pernille Kruse Madsen. After witnessing the devastating fates of girls being trafficked from Nepal to India for sexual exploitation, Pernille decided to commit her life to providing education and opportunities for those who need it the most.
Today, HPF has registered charities in Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK as well as independent NGOs in Nepal and Kenya. The organisation employs 90 people and follows a holistic community approach, using schools as a platform for change. HPF builds schools, improves infrastructure, implements quality education programmes, and stimulates local economies through business building and agricultural impact programmes. All with one aim: create lasting transformation.
To date, Human Practice Foundations has raised over USD 20 million globally (£2 million in the UK since 2019). HPF utilised this funding for more than 100 school projects supporting over 40,000 children, their teaching staff, families, and surrounding communities. HPF’s aims to impact the lives of more than 1,000,000 children by 2030.

All of us at The Talent Foundry believe a young person's success should be determined by the talents and abilities they have, not where they come from.
We work in schools across the UK to ignite, connect and engage young people from underserved communities to careers and employers who value talent over background.

Last year we supported over 60,000 young people build their skills and confidence and broaden their horizons.
What our teachers say...
"I would highly recommend this workshop. Students were able to develop key transferable skills in such a short space of time, and then apply them to their final pitch. This was all down to the fantastic delivery of the facilitators!"
What our students say..
"The first in person workshop was very good in that I walked away with better a better knowledge of how to appear in interviews and what not to do to put off employers. The coaching sessions have been good in keeping me up-to-date and increasing my time put into important documents like my CVs all and all a great experience.”
“The staff give great feedback and they are great at listening. They made me feel seen.”
The facilitator role is a freelance position. We offer flexible hours with delivery taking place during school hours/term time in schools, partner offices or community event spaces.
Our priority areas for delivery are in Scotland due to demand from our schools network. Please only apply if you can travel within Scotland to deliver workshops.
