Story

By fundraising and taking part in Run the River you’ll be supporting young people from low-income backgrounds to get a brilliant education. 

Teach First has been working to make education fair for 15 years, and in this milestone year, we want to Challenge the Impossible so that all children, no matter their background, make informed and ambitious choices about the future. 

Help to break the class ceiling for pupils from poorer backgrounds so they can go on to lead happy fulfilling lives.
