The Future of upReach - Unlocking Potential
2024-27 Strategy
Since upReach was founded in 2012, we have increased the number of students we support
every year - growing from just 39 Associates to now supporting 3000+ in 2023/24. In our new
2024-27 strategy, we want to bridge the gap between raw talent and tangible achievements:
we need to unlock potential.
By 2027, we want to achieve two key goals:
Sustainably Scale up our Reach:
Evidence our Impact:
By 2027 we aim to work with at
least 3,300 undergraduates a year,
increasing our reach sustainably from
the 3,000 undergraduates we support
now. Growing funding to support more
programme opportunities will help us
transform more lives.
In 2025, we will complete an external
review of our core programmes. Leveraging
these insights, we aim to have even more
robust, independently-veri昀椀ed evidence for
our success, while continuing to achieve
benchmark-beating graduate job outcomes
for our Associates year on year.
Over the next three years, we plan to focus on two key enablers to achieve this:

Invest for Growth and Impact:
Grow our Income:
To improve our impact and serve more
Associates, we need to invest in our people
and our technology. We want upReach to
be a tech-powered, best-in-class charity,
while maintaining our people based model
with its unique 1-to-1 support.
In order to grow our team and invest in
technology to scale up our programmes,
we need to inspire and engage more people
and transform our income generation.
By 2027 we aim to raise more than £5
million a year.
