Social Mobility Day

Social Mobility isn’t just for June! Did you know Dec 12th is the exact 👉 mid-point 👈 between Social Mobility Day 2024 and 2025? The halfway mark is a great time to remind ourselves what social mobility is and why it really matters. So what is it, who does it impact, and what can we do about it? 🧐 Check out our post below to find out more, and save the date for Thursday 12th June 2025!

Understanding lower socio-economic backgrounds (LSEBs) is crucial to creating fairer life opportunities for all 👏   By raising awareness of what defines an LSEB and how this impacts individuals and groups, we can break down barriers to opportunities and create a more equal society! #raisingawareness #equality #LSEB #careers #opportunity #breakingbarriers

Social Mobility is a cause we wholeheartedly believe in, and we loved listening to everyone share their stories and moments on Social Mobility Day. But it’s crucial that we keep these conversations going all year round, so that we can continue to push for equal opportunities and improve access to careers. To carry on the discussion, here’s a short clip from Kerry and why Social Mobility is so important to her. #sharemoments #socialmobility #SMD2024

Today is social mobility day, a day to share moments that encourage conversations and action that brings about positive change. I am so proud of working at an organisation that actively promotes social mobility, removing barriers, letting people flourish regardless of their background. It was not always the way for me and I am taking the opportunity to share an experience that impacted me at the start of my career. #sharemoments #socialmobilityday #beyondbackgrounds #amazon
