Our impact

In every location, we bring about positive, measurable change.

We care about making a difference for young people, so it has been vital for us to understand what impact our work is having. From the earliest days, the charity has been committed to measuring and evaluating its effectiveness.

It’s a challenging time for young people making decisions about their future. Several years on, the long-term impacts of the pandemic, in particular on those from the least advantaged backgrounds, are becoming increasingly clear.

It’s more important than ever that we can be confident our work is having a positive impact on the young people we support. Our annual results show that with our help, thousands of young people (who otherwise wouldn’t have done so) achieve a university place or another chosen aspiration.
