Why are we fundraising for £30K?

Currently we are 100% volunteer led but we now need to raise funds to continue to sustain and extend our social impact.  Our achievements since starting up in 2018 include:

  • Supporting 922 students, our own beneficiaries, into the UK’s top universities.
  • Achieving a 49-53% Oxbridge interview success rate across our cohorts to date.
  • Creating a Self-Study Programme in 2019 to share our syllabus and extend our support more widely.
  • Developing online portals with free resources to facilitate progress of students on our OMS Programme.
  • Supporting 545 students in our 2020/21 cohort into the most selective universities (a 241% increase from last year).
  • Creating monthly webinars for our OMS students on how to use our resources to their benefit, to help their own studies.
  • Running fortnightly sessions to address student anxieties and improve mental health and well-being.
  • Launching a Social Impact Internship Programme to help our former students boost their CVs and prepare for careers.
