Launching the 2018 UK Social Mobility Awards

Jan 18, 2018

We are thrilled to reveal our newly relaunched website for the UK Social Mobility Awards! The new site, which was designed by Atomic Concepts, has a sleeker and simpler look and feel, and features a video of our 2017 awards night highlights. Over the coming months, we’ll be posting news about the awards, advice about how to make your entry stand out, as well as case studies of previous winners.

This year, we are welcoming back Sir Ken Olisa OBE as Chair of the Judging Panel, who was recently knighted in the New Year’s honours list. Steph McGovern, the award-winning presenter, will also be returning as our evening’s host.

The UK Social Mobility Awards have given Making The Leap a fantastic opportunity to continue our journey in increasing social mobility. It’s also given organisations the chance to showcase their achievements in this crucial area, and in doing so, share best practice with the nation. With opportunities to sponsor, enter and attend this inspiring event, and we invite you to find out more about this initiative.

Follow the UK Social Mobility Awards on social media for all the latest news and updates.
