upReach Annual Report 2023-24 - Report - Page 7
Message from Our Patron, Baroness Helena Kennedy KC
I am proud to be the First Patron of
upReach, who do remarkable work to
advance social mobility by preparing
students for the world of work and
expanding opportunities.
I know from 昀椀rst hand experience just
how tough it can be to break into the
professions if you don’t come from the
‘right background’; it is inspiring to see
the work upReach is doing to level the
playing 昀椀eld.
Since supporting upReach from 2017,
I’ve witnessed the transformative impact
of its work. I pay heartfelt tribute to
everyone who contributes to this vital
mission - staff, volunteers, mentors, and
funders - who together open doors and
build ladders of opportunity for so many.
