Gap year planning done right

Wednesday 6th May 2026, 6pm

Is this you?

You like the idea of a gap year… but you’re also wondering:

• Will it actually benefit their future?
• Is it safe and structured?
• Will they come back more confident, or just a year older?
• Are they going to drift… or grow?

You’re not alone, and you’re right to ask.

Introducing our Gap Year Planning session

A relaxed, informal Zoom call designed specifically for parents who want to make informed, confident decisions about their child’s gap year.

No hard sell. No pressure. Just honest insight from Milly who has been doing this for over 20 years.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• What universities and employers actually value
• The difference between a “drift year” and a structured gap year
• How to choose a safe, supported experience abroad
• Why group volunteering builds confidence, independence and resilience
• What a meaningful, well-planned gap year really looks like
