Villiers Park Educational Trust

Villiers Park is a national social mobility charity committed to improving equality in education and careers across the UK.

We support young people from underrepresented backgrounds to develop employability skills and raise academic aspirations, empowering them to have agency over their career journey.

We work in our hubs in Hastings, Norwich, Tyneside and Swindon, areas with historically low access to higher education and careers opportunities. Our programmes address this concerning gap in access to higher education, where young people from low-income families continue to have poorer life outcomes than their peers.

Our Future Leaders, Sustainable Futures and Subject Specific programmes challenge young people to explore their many ‘possible selves’ after leaving school. We offer them not only practical skills and academic development opportunities but also encourage them to take control of their futures and strive to achieve their potential.
