Value proposition

Award-winning social mobility charity supporting undergraduates from less-advantaged backgrounds to secure top jobs.

upReach is an award-winning social mobility charity driven by a vision of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential, regardless of social background. Founded in 2012, we support over 3,000 students to access and sustain top graduate jobs each year.

upReach delivers a programme of 1-to-1 career coaching to undergraduates from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Working in close partnership with leading employers and universities, we support 3,000 students from across the UK to discover a variety of career options, and develop the vital employability skills, networks and experiences needed to succeed in their chosen career and beyond.

In recognition of our dedication to supporting social mobility in the UK, upReach was awarded a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise for “Promoting Opportunity” in 2021, and was declared “Medium-Sized Charity of the Year” at the Third Sector Awards 2022.
