Breaking barriers,
building futures

2025 has been one of our most meaningful years yet — and we've captured it all in our latest annual report. From the trading floors of Mako to the paddock of Formula One, from university campuses across England to the leadership suites at OVO Energy, our programmes have continued to open doors for young people whose talent has too often gone unnoticed.

This year we delivered six core programmes alongside eight mentoring partnerships — a 10% increase on 2024 — working alongside organisations including Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, dmg media, OVO Energy, Mako Trading, Johnson & Johnson and Salesforce. We also launched a brand new outreach initiative, Stand Out & Get Selected, reaching students at SOAS, London South Bank University and the University of Bristol.

Behind every statistic is a person. Here are just three of the hundreds of stories from 2025 that remind us why this work matters.

As we look ahead to 2026 — our 15th anniversary year — we are more committed than ever to ensuring that background does not determine future outcomes. The full report includes our programme impact data, financial statements, participant stories, and a look at what is coming next.

We are grateful to every partner, mentor, trustee, donor, and delegate who made 2025 what it was. The next chapter is already being written — and we would love for you to be part of it.
