About Future First

Future First is a social mobility charity with a mission: a world where a young person’s start in life does not limit their future. We want to see every state school and college in the UK, and every state school pupil, supported by a thriving and engaged alumni community, which improves students’ motivation, confidence and life chances.

We work with schools and colleges all over the UK to build their alumni networks of relatable role models and then we deliver workshops where we invite the alumni volunteers to return to school and share their experiences since leaving school, in order to show pupils what is possible for “someone like me”. Future First also creates opportunities for students to gain insights into the world of work at its employer partners, as well as a number of projects such as inviting local community volunteers into primary school workshops to act as career role models for younger pupils.
