Villiers Park is a national social mobility charity.

We deliver evidence-informed programmes that develop personal and employability skills and raise academic outcomes for young people aged 11-19 from under-represented backgrounds.


We believe every young person should have an equal opportunity to excel at school, at university and in their careers. Our unique and tailored programmes increase aspirations for learning and motivation, develop academic, employability and personal skills and raise attainment.

I didn't know things like this existed. It's made me consider working for a place like this even though I'm not a business person at all.
