Recently we unleashed our 2023-24 Impact Report upon the world, highlighting and celebrating just a small section of the impactful work we do around the country (and sometimes beyond!) to improve the lives of young people and level the playing field from those from disadvantaged backgrounds, providing them with opportunities and skills to help them build brighter futures.
We work with many organisations around the world to provide the many experiences, courses and opportunities we offer each year. One of those organisations, The Marketors’, have supported and worked with Unloc through several projects with a combined aim to make the world a better place for the next generation.

Through our partnership with The Marketors’, our Inspiring Young Changemakers project develops the confidence, aspirations, life skills and entrepreneurial mindset of young people aged 10-19, from disadvantaged communities across Hampshire and London, through a series of inspiring and interactive events and programmes.
These focus on core skills and confidence building in a safe space, allowing them to try new things, think independently, and learn and develop new skills in areas such as creativity, team work, decision making and public speaking. In the past academic year the Inspiring Young Changemakers project scaled to 10 x Changemaker Challenge Days, inspiring 412 targeted young people from disadvantaged communities in Hampshire and London throughout the year
The project was a resounding success, receiving a 93% net positivity score from young people, with high rating feedback from those involved. As a result we’ve created a separate report to show the impact that the support of The Marketors’ has had on the young people that we work with every day up and down the country.

The Marketors’ have the founding principle that ‘marketing benefits everyone’ believing in the power of marketing to deliver economic and social good. They have delivered on this principle for almost 50 years by operating as a not-for-profit membership body, open to marketing leaders who are looking to use their marketing skills, contacts, and resources to support charitable causes and the development of marketing for the good of society.
Over the last three years, The Marketors’ have donated over £269k to worthy causes in line with their broad aims of inspiring excellence in marketing, supporting charities and the disadvantaged, and also caring for Marketors in need.
It’s this charitable set of ethics, and their commitment to levelling the playing field and providing opportunity for those less fortunate, as well as their strong understanding of industry which have made them such perfect partners for us here at Unloc.

Through our partnership working together, we:
.
- Develop young people’s aspirations, employability and enterprise skills
- Challenge stereotypes of careers in business and the marketing sector through role-modelling
- Connect local communities, schools and young people with both Unloc and The Marketors’ Trust ambition to give back to society
- Actively engage The Marketors’ Trust members and corporate partners in volunteering

Unloc’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Hayden Taylor said:
“I know I speak on behalf of the entire Unloc team, as well as the many young people we serve when I say just how much the support and commitment of The Marketors’ Trust means to us all. Programmes such as our Changemaker Challenges and Inspiring Young Changemakers have such an impact, and provide the young people with such a unique opportunity to think outside the box, gain insight into industry, marketing and business, and provides them with the tools to develop their ideas and grow their confidence. We’re so excited, with the support and partnership of The Marketors’ Trust, to grow and develop our relationship, and deepen the impact we can both have together on the lives of the next generation.”
