We’d like to share a free local event taking place in Derby this July that aims to inspire, support and connect young people with future opportunities.

ROOTS: School’s Out, What’s Next?

Hosted by Derby Promise, ROOTS is a free event for young people aged 14–18 and their parents or carers. It takes place at Electric Daisy in Derby city centre.

The event is all about helping young people discover new opportunities, build confidence and explore their interests in a fun and relaxed environment.

There will be a mix of creative activities, hands-on workshops and the chance to meet local organisations and employers.

What Can Young People Expect?

There will be plenty to get involved in, including:

  • Talk to people who understand careers, skills and opportunities.
  • Find out about education, training, employment and support services.
  • Ask questions, pick up information or just listen in.
  • Take part in interactive activities.
  • Enjoy food and music in a creative, informal setting.
  • Drop in – come for five minutes or stay for the whole afternoon.

It’s a chance to try something new, meet new people and learn more about the opportunities available in Derby.

Why We’re Sharing It

We’re passionate about helping people build brighter futures.

That support starts from a young age. Whether it’s developing confidence, exploring new opportunities or learning positive money habits, we believe every young person deserves the chance to build strong foundations for the future.

Events like ROOTS give young people the opportunity to discover new interests, learn new skills and explore what’s possible after school.

We also encourage families to think about their young person’s financial future, which is why we offer a Junior ISA to help young people start building good saving habits from an early age.

Whether your teenager already knows what they want to do next or is still exploring their options, this event could provide valuable inspiration, ideas and support.
