Inequality fuels modern crises, from political polarisation and poverty to prejudice and violence. And when privilege and power is concentrated amongst a few, effective solutions fall short. At King’s, we believe in a world where everyone can achieve a great education. Where people have agency, influence and the chance to fulfil their potential. And where social and economic mobility is no longer a challenge to overcome. King’s ranks first in the Russell Group for our contribution to social mobility. And we are committed to staying at the forefront of change.

Advancing equality and social mobility is a key focus among King's five Impact Priorities. We have led targeted initiatives like Parent Power, established pioneering community partnerships with charities including Citizens UK, and delivered evidence-based research into the root causes of inequality. King’s champions inclusivity across all facets of the University, from recruitment and education to outreach and community engagement. We aim to be a catalyst for societal change.
