How can you help?

We welcome support from anyone aligned to our mission, whether it be giving your time, a donation, or through partnerships and collaborations.

Children from the most deprived backgrounds have a life expectancy that is 9 years less than that of their wealthier peers. We don’t just want to see our students accessing a great education, we are working with them to create a legacy for themselves, their families and their wider communities. We’d love you to join us in making access to opportunity more equal.
