We mobilise the PhD community to support less advantaged young people access the most competitive universities and succeed when they get there.

Story

Please support us as we try to ensure that every young person can achieve their potential in higher education, no matter their background!

We are fundraising in aid of The Brilliant Club, a charity which supports less-advantaged students to access and succeed at the most competitive universities. They’re a great charity to support if you are passionate about fighting educational inequality, and you can find out more about them here: https://thebrilliantclub.org/ .

Adrian, in his more than three decades as a teacher in state comprehensive schools, has seen plenty of more-than-deserving students miss out on places at the most prestigious universities, so he knows how important initiatives like The Brilliant Club are. Grace knows how many doors her degree has opened for her, and she is currently tutoring with The Brilliant Club, trying to ensure that all students have access to the same opportunities she did.

Thank you for your support!
