upReach Annual Report 2023-24 - Report - Page 28
Our Team
Internal Development Focus
upReach staff are fundamental to our ongoing success,
providing the incredible support our Associates receive. At the
end of the 2023/24 昀椀nancial year, we had 81 team members
working in a mix of Associate-facing and Impact Enabling roles.
Many of our staff join us through our Future Charity Leaders
Programme (FCLP). The FCLP is a graduate scheme which aims
to train a new generation of leaders in the charity sector, giving
the opportunity to gain an apprenticeship quali昀椀cation in the
process. The FCLP is open to graduates from any university,
subject or background who are passionate about social mobility.
Being on the FCLP has allowed me to take on a huge
range of projects and responsibilities, from marketing,
partnership management, event planning, project
management, public speaking and of course working
directly with our bene昀椀ciaries.
Through the rotations I’ve been given on the FCLP,
I’ve had the chance to gain a real overview into how
different teams and roles work, and it has added a
great sense of variety to my role. This has developed
my creativity, leadership, relationship management
and organisational skills. I can already see how much
I have grown in con昀椀dence so far!
