The Social Mobility Foundation is a registered charity, with the objective of making a real improvement in social mobility for bright young people from lower-income backgrounds. The SMF was founded in 2006 and has since worked with thousands of students from across England.

We are determined to make social mobility a reality.

Students that we work with are provided with a programme of mentoring, skills development, tailored university visits, professional insight days, university application support – with personal statements, interviews and aptitude tests – and the opportunity for internships at some of the most prestigious employers in the UK.

Our aim is the creation of a nationwide framework whereby all academically-able students from lower-income backgrounds have access to complementary supports which help them plan their professional future.

We are actively working to ensure that, throughout their critical transition years from compulsory education through further and higher education and into work, bright and financially underprivileged students are best prepared to reach their potential and thereby aspire to leading universities and top-level professions.
