Help us to facilitate every child’s success – not just the more fortunate.

We’re on a mission to improve social mobility by closing the attainment gap for disadvantaged children.

We are dedicated to empowering Free School Meal (FSM) students in Wales by providing them with the necessary academic support and opportunities to thrive. We are committed to bridging the significant attainment gap that existed even before the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

36% of children in Wales live in poverty and they already start school the equivalent of 10 months behind children from more fortunate families.

There are over 15,000 FSM children in Cardiff, and over 100,000 in Wales.

Over a quarter (28% or 50,000) of under-fives in Wales were living in income poverty in 2018

Data for 2019 showed that young people’s life chances in Wales are still determined more by where they grow up than by their effort or ability

We cannot afford to let brilliant minds slip through our fingers, for when we do, we all suffer the consequences.

We need your help!

We are seeking partnerships with businesses to join us in providing essential support to more than 50 FSM children from South Wales over the next two years.

 

Collaborating with our partner schools, we will actively identify students who receive Free School Meals and provide them with the additional support, guidance, and empowerment they require to unlock their unlimited potential.

Your sponsorship will allow us to provide this with no cost at all to the student or the school.
