We help children of secondary school age (11 to 15 years old) with supplementary education (KS3 and KS4 curriculums) which is facilitated by our highly qualified teachers with several years of experience. Our work with the kids is structured with the aim of helping them to achieve good grades in their examinations including the GCSEs. We help them with their mainstream school work so that they are able to perform very well in school; and those that are doing well already can even do much better. Our main goal is to help them to reach their potential and thus eventually fulfil their dreams. 

We support children and young people in care. Our volunteers enjoy the challenge of building a lasting friendship with an individual child or young person and the children and young people  benefit greatly from a consistent, fun relationship with someone outside the care system who cares about them and their future.  Activities will depend on the age and interests of the child but could include things like a walk, playing in the park, swimming, a visit to a museum, bike riding, sports etc.  This is a long-term, one to one commitment.

Young people from the UK's most disadvantaged postcodes are half as likely to get five 9-4 grades at GCSE, and nearly four times less likely to go to university. This makes it harder for these young people to succeed in a competitive job market. The long-term effects can be felt across society, as communities with low education and employment prospects become increasingly marginalised. By raising aspirations, we aim to tackle this issue, giving our students a chance at a brighter future.
