Inner Circle Educational Trust

Who we are

ICET supports looked after young people, specifically in Camden, to make it to and through university.  Our dedicated education navigator works directly with the young people finding opportunities for them to get excited by the realistic prospect of getting to university. It may be additional tutoring, or attending a summer school, or help to buy a lap top.  Whatever is needed to increase the prospects they will want to go to university and have a real chance.  We them support them in university and afterwards to find a job.

We are also reviewing other projects around the overall theme of increasing aspiration and opportunity for higher education.

Our culture and values

We are sad to know that the biggest single indicator you will not make it to university, and if you manage to get there that you won't finish the course, is if you have been in the care system.  We are working with other charities in this area to transform the opportunities for looked after children so that they have a real chance of getting to university, completing their degree, and getting a job.   We believe that education is a huge element of social mobility and we want to improve the life chances of these young people.
