We don’t believe that your race, ethnicity or background should limit what you can achieve in life.
Our work directly addresses some of the key challenges that hold people back.
Disadvantage starts early
We believe all young people should receive the education, training and support they need to reach their potential. Too many young people start at a disadvantage.
Career progression is not equal
We believe that everyone should be able to progress in their career based on their skills and performance, not limited by factors unrelated to their work.
Getting into employment is harder for some groups than others
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to enter the career of their choice based on their skills and abilities, not their background.
This is why we strive everyday to impact the lives of young people of diverse ethnic heritage through our work with schools, universities and communities. This is why we matter.
