Founding Context

We benefit from being a part of the Life Chance ‘family’ of purpose-driven organisations, and were set up in response to the hopes and fears of students, staff and leaders at School for Inspiring Talents, an awardwinning special school in Devon.

As well as the shared name, vision and common values, the Life Chance Group has committed start-up ‘kickstarter’ funding for the charity until 2025, and two founding Trustees are also company directors of Life Chance.

The Trust therefore meets the definition of a corporate foundation, and our Memorandum of Understanding with the Life Chance Group covers sharing of expertise, values, linked brands and more. In situations where a conflict of interest could arise, we have a robust policy and procedures, backed up by our code of conduct for trustees, staff and volunteers.

Founded in November 2021. Registered as a charitable incorporated organisation 29th June 2022.
