We believe in social mobility.
And we’re putting our money where our mouth is.
When it comes to making real change, talk is cheap. People need more than just kind words to help them achieve their goals.
That’s why we’re providing funding to build the skills and knowledge necessary to aid social mobility. With our dual grants programme—Learner Grants Group Experience and Learning Environment Improvement Grants—learners, staff and education providers can receive funding for the things they need to realise meaningful change.

Grants are available to all members of the Skills and Education Group. If you are not sure if your organisation is a member please get in touch
