As an education charity, SkillForce’s vision is that every young person is given the chance to fulfil their true potential and become a valued member of their community.
Combining the skills and experience of former members of the Armed Forces and other uniformed services with an innovative and successful approach to unlocking potential, SkillForce are able to facilitate positive and permanent change in the lives of some of the country’s most disadvantaged young people. In a recent announcement, SkillForce launched ‘The Prince’s Award’ from their Royal Patron, HRH Prince William of Wales.
During the course of the last six months, Katapult have been working closely with education charity SkillForce. Following appointment to develop the SkillForce brand, Katapult worked closely with the client team to develop a brand framework outlining the charity’s vision, impact, positioning, values and propositions to young people, parents, schools and funders. Katapult also assisted with product development, developing the ‘3C’ construct that forms the basis of the SkillForce curriculum: Community, Character & Contribution. Following creative development, the strategy was executed across a range of communications materials which included the design and build of the SkillForce website.
Katapult have also worked on the development of an online game and in-classroom learning tool used by SkillForce team leaders ‘Virtual Walk to the Pole’ which runs alongside Walking with the Wounded, the trek to the North Pole by four wounded soldiers who set off on 31st March 2011.
