2026 Awards Charity Partner The Maddie Rose Foundation
Supporting Careers, Building Futures
The Maddie Rose Foundation supports young people into sustainable careers within the UK building materials sector while strengthening the long-term future of the industry.
The building materials industry plays a critical role in every construction project in the UK, yet it faces a growing skills and workforce challenge.
Our work creates lasting impact: for individuals, for businesses, and for the sector as a whole.
The Maddie Rose Foundation was established to ensure that the sector has:
- A strong pipeline of skilled, motivated young people
- Greater diversity, resilience and sustainability
- Clearer, fairer routes into employment and progression
- Offers a linked, purposeful charitable organisation for the sector to support young people.
We focus on practical action today that delivers long term benefit tomorrow.
The Maddie Rose Foundation delivers targeted, practical support that helps young people overcome barriers and build long term careers and we do this by:
Funding opportunity
- Bursaries, grants and financial support for training and qualifications
- Help with practical costs that prevent access or progression
Developing skills
- Supporting accredited training, early career development and employability skills
- Helping young people become job ready and confident
Creating connections
- Linking young people with employers through mentoring, work experience and skills programmes
- Supporting smoother transitions from education into employment
Working with industry
- Partnering with businesses to create clearer entry routes and progression pathways
- Aligning support with real workforce needs
Our approach is collaborative, measurable and focused on lasting impact.
