Who we work with
Who our Social Mobility & Widening Participation teams work with.
Our university has a clear goal: to make the world a better place. However, the opportunity for a great education is not distributed fairly. We want to change this. We work with underrepresented students and their supporters, empowering them to access and succeed in higher education because social mobility is necessary to redress social inequality. Our work removes barriers to success throughout a student’s educational journey. Our actions help to create a world in which a young person’s destination is not limited by their start in life.

The recognition also reflects King’s ongoing commitment to inclusion through tailored student support, financial assistance, and partnerships with local communities that help create opportunities for young people across London and beyond.
