We are a social mobility charity on a mission to support young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to become confident, independent and resilient so they can lead the lives they want.
We partner with Primary and Secondary schools and universities in England to run face-to-face and virtual coaching programmes. Through partnering young people with relatable role models, we aim to raise their confidence, independence and attainment.
Our ‘Why’
There is an attainment gap in the UK between disadvantaged young people and their wealthier peers. This is exacerbated when young people have low confidence in their abilities and potential. Upward social mobility is made even harder when young people lack relatable role models who have been to university or have professional occupations. We want to change this!
Vision: a world in which every young person’s destination is based on their choice, ambitions and talents, rather than their background.
Mission: coaching young people to be confident, independent and resilient so they can lead the lives they want.
Our approach
We provide subject-specific, tailored coaching programmes with a focus on building young people’s confidence, independence and resilience.
We provide intensive, academic coaching through Core, Peer to Peer and Summer School Programmes. Embedded within these are university trips and soft-skills workshops, aiming to raise aspirations and promote social and emotional learning!
