Help children and young people shape the places they inhabit!

Young people should be informed about the impact the built environment has on health, well-being, our relationship with place and the environment. They inherit the built environment we make and we have a duty to explain it to them. Unfortunately, rarely they have a voice in built environment processes - planning, designing, making, managing - which shape our cultural experiences, sense of identity and relationship with the planet. At Thornton Education Trust (TET) we believe they should. We connect education with the built environment sector to give children and young people real opportunities to participate, co-design and create better places. By supporting TET, you help to: create opportunities for children and young people engagement in design and placemaking; build a generation of civic-minded people; amplify our mission and raise awareness globally.

Our supporters help amplify TET’s work: extending its impact everywhere, anytime. We offer meaningful ways to engage, from involving young people in your projects to collaborating on programmes and one-off activities:
