LIVE ON CAPTURE : LAUNCH OF THE CAPTURE MINDS PROGRAMME
ABOUT US
TRANSFORMING LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE SINCE 2019
At Capture Minds, our mission is to address the disparities in access to higher education and career guidance for disadvantaged young people, aiming to level the socio-economic playing field.
Our philosophy is simple and it’s the genesis of our solution – educate, empower and evolve. We make progress every day thanks to the help of local partners and generous supporters.
OUR PROGRAMMES
Implementing our three-tier phase model, this weekly class taking place throughout the academic year focusses on career exploration and guidance to support disadvantaged young people attending schools in Hounslow throughout their Year 12 and 13.
CAPTURE MINDS PROGRAMME
The project offers a range of activity for local residents in Hounslow including a homework club, youth hub and community fair(s).

Why Capture Minds?
OUR SOLUTION: EDUCATE. EMPOWER. EVOLVE 🔑
EDUCATE 💡
Higher-Education Aspiration
A well-developed aspiration for higher education is a critical precursor to preparing successfully for the journey toward higher education. It is not sufficient for students to merely aspire to pursue higher education. They must believe in their ability to thrive once enrolled, and they must comprehend how their preparation will influence their probability of success
Non-Cognitive Skills
Beyond academic preparation, students need to develop the behaviours, skills, attitudes, and strategies — collectively called “non-cognitive skills” — in order to be truly positioned for success in higher education and beyond. Capture Minds’ curriculum emphasises six non-cognitive skills that are essential in higher education and career: having a growth mindset; persistence; critical thinking; ability to seek help and self-advocate; social capital skills; and optimism and excitement about the future.
Higher-Education Process
Young people receive guidance to navigate the post-16 process, from applying to post-16 options to securing financial support and successfully matriculating.
EMPOWER 🎓
Higher Education-Ready
Our young people graduate further education with the knowledge, skills, and mindset essential for higher education success, along with a concrete post-16 plan.
Enrolment in Higher Education
Within one year of further education graduation, young people enrol in a strong-fit, high-quality post-16 education option
EVOLVE 👑
Higher Education Completion
Within six years of leaving further education , students complete their selected post-further education option, ensuring a successful transition into their chosen career pathway.

Case
Study
“Capture have really helped me in many ways. Recently, I had asked for help with my personal business venture, and they guided me through the complete process of starting and managing a business with a workshop on creating a business plan, financial forecasting and marketing support. They also provided a business grant of £200. This has helped me and my friends to start-up our new clothing business!”
