Jenson Button MBE“Whether you’re dealing with a physical or mentality disability, whether you’ve been deprived or hurt, or if you’re a young carer, you need the support, courage, confidence and inspiration of others to help you share the burden of life’s unique journey. I want to encourage and inspire, to lift and support people who aren’t always treated with the respect they deserve by society. The British Inspiration Trust shares my hope that we can help all these people, provide them with the infrastructure, confidence and support they need to continue to make a difference, and to sustain their ambition and inspiration through childhood into adulthood.”

Peter Robinson MP Martin McGuinness MPWe are honoured to provide a message of support for this very worthy project. Phil Packer’s own journey is truly inspirational and his idea of setting up a Centre of Inspiration for young people who are struggling to deal with adversity, as a result of mental or physical disability, deprivation, injury and wounding; and those who are young carers, is also inspiring. It can be difficult, at the best of times, for young people aged between 16 and 25 as they make the transition to adulthood. Those who face additional adversity need all the support and help that they can get. These young people have so much to offer and contribute to society but are often challenged with low self-esteem and self-worth. This centre will provide much needed support and assistance for young people, helping them to become self-assured and ambitious young adults; inspired and encouraged; ready to face the future; and empowered to realise their full potential. We both send our very best wishes for making this vision a reality.
Peter Robinson MP Martin McGuinness MP

Garwyn Jones Welsh AssemblyIt can be difficult at the best of times for young people ages 16-25 as they make their transition into adulthood. We want those with additional learning needs, deprivation, injury and wounding and those who are young carers to move seamlessly from children’s service provisions into adult services, We want to have the same opportunities as everyone else in terms of gaining meaningful employment, or moving into higher or further education. Because of this we have made clear our belief that having a real person to support a young person and their families through transition is very important. I am pleased therefore to be able to support the British Inspiration Trust. I hope that many young people will be able to benefit from the support this initiative will bring them.
