Bridging gaps. Changing perceptions.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
— Nelson Mandela
Our mission is to support refugees, provide education access, and promote community cohesion.
About Us
EduChange was founded to support young refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants in accessing the opportunities they deserve.
We recognise that many young people face significant barriers when trying to enter or continue their education in the UK. Whether due to language, unfamiliarity with the system, or legal status, the path can be difficult and isolating.
EduChange exists to change that.
Through personalised advice, mentoring, cultural engagement, and practitioner training, we aim to empower individuals and build stronger, more inclusive communities. Our work centres on education — from navigating college and university applications to offering one-to-one support through our mentoring programme.
We also believe in the power of storytelling, dialogue, and shared experience to foster understanding and cohesion within communities. Our events provide safe, inclusive spaces for people to connect, learn, and grow together.
At our core, we are driven by a commitment to equality, dignity, and the potential of every young person to succeed and contribute.
