This December, Pollen Street Capital employees are donning a Santa suit, with a terrible fake beard to run 5k through London as part of the Santa in the City event!

We're fundraising for Future First, a social mobility charity that exists because every student from every walk of life deserves to thrive.

Future First's mission is for every state school and college in the UK to be supported by a thriving and engaged community of former students and employee volunteers that equips young people with the skills and confidence to reach their potential and contribute fully to society.

Why are we fundraising?

The UK has a deep social mobility problem. We have one of the poorest rates of social mobility in high income countries. This means that people born into low-income families, regardless of their talent, or their hard work, do not have the same access to opportunities as those born into more privileged circumstances, and it’s getting worse.

Your support will help Future First to change that.
