The Social Mobility Foundation
We’re working towards a society where talent from all social backgrounds is nurtured, harnessed and rewarded. We unlock potential, broaden horizons and create opportunities, with and for ambitious young people who face structural barriers in education and work because of their socioeconomic background. We create more social mobility through our three interventions: - Directly supporting young people: We nurture the knowledge, confidence and networks of high-achieving young people through our programmes. - Influencing employers: We influence employers to ensure people people with potential can get in and get on in professional life. - Advocating for social mobility: We campaign on structural social mobility issues and amplify the voices of young people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
