Stuck-In: To commit enthusiastically & whole-heartedly
Why We Got Stuck-In
When Covid-19 arrived in Britain, most of us were getting ready to sit exams which were subsequently cancelled. Two years of dedicated work were gone in an instant. Schools weren’t expecting to teach us again until September, no one was prepared to devise an emergency curriculum. We had other concerns too: how could we be sure our exam-free grades would reflect our efforts? How would we be able to distinguish ourselves from everyone else in the event of grade inflation or – worse – deflation?
That’s when we got creative, when we got stuck in. We decided we weren’t alone, that other young people would share our concerns and also need an opportunity to stand out. We thought about how difficult the job market would become; young people already have the highest levels of unemployment. We realised that we could use our talents to create the very thing we needed – and Stuck-In, Stand-Out and Step-Up were born.

Our Charities
Stuck-In started with one aim: to raise money for communities affected by the pandemic.
As we began to understand how our own community – young people – would be affected in the long term, we never lost the intention to raise money in support of others.
Our amazing partners have come on board because they want to give back too. Each opportunity on offer directly supports teens, in understanding of the challenges that lay ahead.
Entry to compete for all our awards is completely free. We hope that you will choose to make a donation of £5 for your entry. If this isn’t possible for you – don’t worry. We care about your creativity more than your money.
