On Monday, December 5th 2022, we had the most wonderful evening, Celebrating our 15 year Anniversary, hosted by the London Stock Exchange Group 🎉🎉
Over the last 15 years, we have been dedicated to helping connect young people from underrepresented and disadvantaged communities with relatable role models, 1-2-1 mentoring and career opportunities, and last night we saw that come to life.
Over the last 15 years we have supported more than 20,000 young people and are continually growing! If you’d like to help join us on our mission to build an equitable future, Contact Us
