Educational Underachievement and Social Exclusion

The Foundation is primarily focused on education and the effects of educational underachievement and social exclusion on the young, delivering a number of high profile projects.

The Foundation looks for projects where we believe, through our involvement, we can make a real difference and where there is opportunity for matched funding or better from third party sources to accelerate the pace of implementation or the scale of change. In particular, the Foundation wishes to tackle difficult and contentious social issues promoting innovative and practical solutions through working with appropriate delivery partners.

As a result Rod Aldridge is sponsor of a proposed city academy and involved with The Prince’s Trust reaching out to socially excluded young people.
