    Situation

    In this country parental income is the biggest factor in how well a child will do in life. This means that bright children from poor backgrounds, do not have the chances they deserve. In the UK, poor pupils are more than twice as likely to become NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) as wealthier pupils. We believe that there should be opportunities available for all children and young people, so they can become all that their talent and hard work will allow them to be.

    Solution

    We raise young people’s aspirations; equip them with the vital character and employability skills required to succeed in the world of work and in life. These skills and the confidence they breed will help them throughout their lives. We support young people to progress forwards into employment and further education. We focus on providing them with access to roles at top companies with career prospects; the types of opportunities they otherwise would not have access to.
