We are delighted to continue our Migrant Leaders Kantar Public annual internship this April. The one week internship was a hybrid of online interactive sessions and one day for our interns to visit Kantar Public in their office in Westminster.

Social mobility will come from cross sector collaboration.”

This resulted in many mentors volunteering further by going into the school to speak to students. Elham Fardad plans to continue this approach of elevating schools such as those part of the Shared Learning Trust, where she is a Governor
