OUR STORY

Everyone Deserves a Fair Shot – Talent Alone Doesn’t Lead to Opportunity or Success

Slenky Founder, Cec Richards, grew up around the most gifted young people on a London council estate.  But he saw talent get blunted without support and access to the right opportunities.

Relationship-building and access to business networks is vital to shaping young futures.  One opportunity, or Shot, can make all the difference.

Most organisations don’t how to engage Gen Z
