Social mobility is essential in a vibrant economy. Most companies now recognise that not only is it fair, but it diversifies thinking in the workplace. It also increases available talent.
We can help you achieve your goals towards social mobility, and diversity, equity and inclusion (78% of our pupils are from minority communities).
With the direct social impact we make, we can also support your corporate social responsibility aims.
Partnering with Team Up can take several forms, but we do encourage all our corporate partners to give their employees the opportunity to volunteer to tutor. This can be in a local school or from their desks in one of our online programmes.
There are also opportunities for businesses to help specific schools close to their locations or groups of disadvantaged pupils close to their hearts.

What I think of Team Up...“I’m feeling more confident about my English GCSE because Team Up has helped me. Before, I didn’t use the vocabulary that I’m using now – now I’m using a wider range of vocabulary.”
Team Up pupil
