Better prepared for life. Build psychological fitness.
Carlsberg Britvic × Bounce Forward
A partnership that became part of our story.
Employees • Schools • Families • Communities • Growth
It started with their people.
Employees nominated the schools and communities they wanted us to reach.
When the partnership began in 2022, Carlsberg Britvic employees were invited to nominate local schools and communities that mattered to them.
Bounce Forward then worked directly with those schools — independently, and without commercial branding in delivery — so support could reach children and communities where it mattered most.
This employee-led approach helped ensure our work was grounded in real local need, with genuine connections to the places where Carlsberg Britvic people live and work.
What those nominations became.
Once schools are engaged, the impact does not stop with a single year. Teachers keep using the learning and new cohorts continue to benefit.
Through roadshows, site visits, parent courses and shared conversations, Carlsberg Britvic employees engaged with Bounce Forward far beyond school nominations.
From roadshows to site visits, parent courses to open conversations, people helped raise awareness, supported the work and deepened our understanding of the families around them.
They asked questions, shared ideas, joined sessions and brought Bounce Forward into their teams and communities.
These conversations gave us valuable insight into the real-life pressures families face — and how we can make our support even more relevant, accessible and impactful.

The relationships keep moving.
One school relationship can grow and expand.
Northampton International Academy is located in the same community as Carlsberg Britvic’s flagship brewery and one of its logistics hubs.
As a lead Bounce Forward school and part of the wider East Midlands Academy Trust, that relationship has meant we are now working with all schools across the trust teaching Bounce Forward lessons from nursery through to sixth form on a project with PGL Beyond, the EMATters Enrichment Project.
