BUILD SOMETHING THAT MATTERS We think that starting a social business could be your best shot at impact. Our Fellows  pick up the tools of business to fight injustice . While other startups are flogging dating apps or designing solutions to some other middle class inconvenience, we focus on problems that really matter. To tackle the housing crisis, the growing needs of our ageing population or the surge of violent crime on our streets, we must start by listening and learning at the frontline of inequality. So your journey as a Year Here Fellow starts in a homeless hostel, care home or pupil referral unit.

This is a reimagination of higher education. Rather than spending a year in a lecture hall and paying £10,000 for the privilege, we challenge you to learn by doing – working on real social impact projects. Our partners pay us to be involved and that covers your tuition costs. To widen access to the programme we have a small number of means-tested bursaries available, and offer additional support through TfL discounts and recommendations for flexible paid work and affordable accommodation.
