Global charitable foundation established by @LewisHamilton. Driving change so that every young person can thrive in school and access great careers in STEM.
Congratulations to our Board of Trustees member, Hayaatun Sillem, on being appointed a Dame in the King’s Birthday Honours! 👏
Thank you for your leadership over the years as we continue our mission to build a fairer, more inclusive future for young people around the world.
We took our Ambitious About Inclusion series, delivered in partnership with @CfYoungLives, to Birmingham, Newcastle, and Kent, bringing together local educators, young people, policymakers and community organisations.
Check out the highlights and keep an eye out for our upcoming Ambitious About Inclusion report, which captures the insights from these discussions and provides recommendations for the Government to build a more inclusive education system.

Empowering. Transformational. Life-changing.⚡️
As our inaugural Youth Advisors prepare for their next chapters, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible impact they’ve had at Mission 44.
From helping shape our strategy and grantmaking, to co-designing a new Youth Empowerment programme, this incredible group of young leaders have been at the heart of everything we do.
They’ve shown us that when young people are given a seat at the table, they drive real change by bringing their lived experiences to the conversation.
To our departing Youth Advisors: thank you for your confidence, your insight, and for demonstrating the transformative power of young voices. We can’t wait to see how you continue to change the world 🌍✨

We're delighted to see Mission 44 and our partnership with @IBM featured in the @FinancialTimes.
At @sxswlndn, our CEO @Jason_Arthur joined @JustinaNixon of IBM to discuss the role employers can play in helping young people develop the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
As Jason shared:
💬 "We want to get students excited about STEM and we use motorsport as a microcosm."
Through Mission 44 programmes, young people can connect what they're learning in the classroom to real-world careers across engineering, software development, data, and beyond.
Thank you to Isabel Berwick and @FT for hosting such an important conversation about bridging the gap between education and employment.

One year since our visit to @10DowningStreet🗓️
When @LewisHamilton met with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, the focus was clear: tackling educational inequality and creating better outcomes for young people.
Since then, Mission 44 has continued to invest in and advocate for inclusive education, supporting initiatives that help young people overcome barriers to opportunity, championing educators and organisations driving change, and building partnerships that create more equitable pathways into future careers 🌟
While there's still much more to do, we're encouraged by the momentum being built in the inclusive education space and grateful to the young people, partners, and advocates helping drive change forward every day.
For a more in-depth look into our inclusive education work, keep an eye out for our Ambitious About Inclusion Report coming soon and sign up to our newsletter: mission44.org/founder/#join_…

The @educationgovuk Milburn report on Young People and Work makes it clear that youth disengagement is not the fault of young people - it is a systemic problem. At Mission 44, we agree.
While employers are a vital part of the solution, education demands urgent attention too. If young people are disengaging from school years before entering the labour market, employment interventions alone cannot solve the problem.
And although the review refers to a “lost generation”, this crisis is not experienced equally. Ethnic minority students, young people from low-income backgrounds and other marginalised groups are disproportionately affected by exclusion, absence and disengagement.
In our latest blog, @LeiciaFeare, Mission 44's Associate Director of Advocacy and Campaigns, outlines why tackling this crisis means listening to young people and building systems that work for all young people, not just some: mission44.org/the-milburn-re…
📽️ A powerful moment from our recent school visit with @LewisHamilton, where we sat down with our partners and young people they support for an important conversation about the work being done to build a more inclusive education system.
We were delighted to hear from @MilkHoneyBees founder @Ebinehita_ and student Liliana about the impact of the H.E.R. Space Programme, which is creating more inclusive environments in schools and we are proud to support.
@msybibi, Project Lead for the Increasing Diversity in ITT project, delivered in partnership with @Being_Luminary, @CharteredColl and @ChilternLT, also shared impactful updates on the progress of our work to transform teacher recruitment practices.
