Enabling social mobility motivates us to do what we do.

BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Social mobility means that a person is not fixed to their position within society - just because your parents didn’t go to university, it doesn’t mean that you can’t.

For example:

61% of the UK’s doctors were educated at a private school, while only 7% of the school population.receive private education.

16% of those entitled to FSM get the equivalent of two A Levels, compared with 39% of other pupils.

15% of scientists, 9% of life scientists and 6% of doctors come from working class backgrounds.

To us, that doesn’t seem right, and we’re here to help change that and use our experiences to show people that change is possible.
