Our mission
To create accessible education, skills and wellbeing opportunities that help children, young people and families overcome barriers, build confidence and progress.
About us · Since 1994
Opportunity through
education.
Axis Educational Trust is a registered charity working to reduce barriers to education and opportunity. We support children, young people and families through supplementary learning, youth development, employability, wellbeing and community programmes, with a particular focus on people facing financial, social or educational disadvantage.
Our purpose
What guides our work.
Our charitable purpose is rooted in education. The way we deliver it has grown with the needs of the communities we serve.
Our vision
Communities where background or income does not determine a young person’s chances, and where every learner can develop the knowledge, confidence and support to thrive.
Our promise
We put safeguarding, inclusion, quality and measurable progress at the centre of every programme, while listening to the people and communities we work with.
