The Aldridge Foundation aims to inspire and equip young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with the skills they need to take control of their futures, improve their attainment in education, enjoy better employment prospects and lead productive lives. We aim to give all young people an equal chance at life, because no-one should be held back by where they come from. We believe that enterprising attributes and an entrepreneurial mindset are skills and traits that go beyond traditional education and can help young people to aim high and push beyond the obstacles and barriers that others don’t have to face.
