We spark ambition and unlock opportunity

Improving social mobility is a collective effort across education and industry. Each year we support 65,000 young people across England, Wales and Scotland to develop their skills and confidence. Read about our vision

Helping young people from under-served backgrounds build skills, confidence and pathways to education and employment

The Talent Foundry is a charity that increases social mobility for young people aged 7 – 18 from under-served backgrounds.

Our purpose is to support young people to discover their amazing talents, think big about their future and build their skills and confidence to take their next step into higher education or the world of work.

We also encourage and support employers to value young people's talents (not their background) and connect them to exciting career pathways.
