Working in partnership with individuals, churches, community groups and companies our vision is of communities where everybody can reach their God-given potential free from injustice and insecurity.

The restructure is enabling us to provide better, more joined up services and for our clients, to not only meet their immediate needs, but to help them reach their God-given potential.

About upReach
Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?
upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because right now a student from disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2.
We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment.
