Our mission is to raise the attainment of children from disadvantaged backgrounds across the Northern Powerhouse.

We want to see all children leave school with real choices in their future lives. We believe that children should be given the best possible chances in education, no matter what their backgrounds or starting points.

Take a look at our Trustees’ Report and Annual Accounts. We use the skill of our Trustees to provide innovative management for our endowment. Click here to download our Investment Guidelines.
