"School is a sanctuary where you can escape from the challenges of the real world. Our teachers really care about us and want us to do well. I would like to go to London to see the tube, the big office blocks and London bridge. It would be quite scary to leave my town, but it would be a good experience and will make me braver."

Make Education Fair is led by a group of people who are passionate about equal opportunities in the North East and ensuring that every young person has the fair education they deserve.

We are fundraising to support 50 young people who really want to go to London to travel, see the city, attend the Impact Conference, broaden their horizons and raise their aspirations.
