The Problems
Black students are not receiving enough support and guidance on the next steps to take to reach their desired university, course or career.
We have recognised that there is an information gap between opportunities that exist to help UK black people and the black community itself
There is a lack of diversity within competitive universities and courses throughout the UK. This lack of diversity continues into competitive careers.
Why We Exist
To increase the participation of black students in top universities, apprenticeships and careers in the UK.
To celebrate existing black excellence.
To aid the personal development of young people in the black community.
