~ Apax Sponsors Collab Training Academy to Transform Young Lives ~ Apax is delighted to announce its support of Collab Training Academy and the creation of their new Youth & Community Hub. Through our contribution, Apax is helping to equip this vital community space with essential resources that will directly benefit more than 250 young people and 30 families every year. Collab Training’s initiatives such as the It Takes a Village Youth Forum and the Community Garden have supported 177 young people and residents to nurture spaces for growth, learning, and meaningful community connection. The new Youth & Community Hub represents an inspiring next chapter in this work. This dedicated space will serve as a centre for youth programmes, skills development, mentoring, and community activities. Our support will help provide the infrastructure needed to deliver training workshops and community events that build confidence, broaden opportunities, and support young people to thrive. At Apax, we believe in investing in community building and social cohesion. By supporting initiatives that give young people purpose, hope, connection, and a sense of belonging, we hope to reduce the risks that can lead to poor mental health outcomes later in life. This partnership reflects our long-standing commitment to social responsibility and youth development. We’re excited to see the Hub flourish and to witness the lasting, positive impact it will have on the lives of young people.
