Chase in the community
Empowering individuals to unlock their potential
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to unlock their potential. That’s why we're committed to giving people across the UK access to resources that'll help develop essential life skills. Ones that can lead to better employment opportunities, and help build stronger, more inclusive communities.
Our community programmes
Chase school libraries programme
Transforming childrens' reading spaces to help combat the broader effects that low literacy skills can have.
Chase football coaching programme
Harnessing the power of football to help build life skills for on and off the pitch.
Chase modern apprenticeships programme
Kickstarting young people's careers with an alternative route to employment.
Why we're doing it
By breaking down barriers to access, we believe we can help more people gain the skills and confidence they need to unlock their potential. And when individuals are empowered, we think communities can become more inclusive, diverse and upskilled, too – creating a positive impact on society.
How we're doing it
Our school libraries programme is helping over 100,000 children grow their literacy skills along with a love of reading. With our football coaching programme, over 3,000 young people and adults will have the opportunity to develop transferrable skills through fully-funded coaching qualifications. And each year, we're welcoming a group of 16-24 year olds to begin their careers as Chase modern apprentices.

Chase modern apprenticeships
Traditional employment routes might not be accessible to everyone. So we set up our modern apprenticeships programme to offer a different way into employment for 16-24 year olds. Now, around 12 apprentices join our thriving Customer Support and Operations teams in Edinburgh every year.
