Rekindle Foundation

We are a non-profit organisation committed to transforming education on a nationwide scale. This is for two key reasons:

• Young people from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds and those from minoritised ethnic backgrounds are currently failed by the system.
• Those working with young people within the system can feel it breaking, are exhausted and feel increasingly hopeless, lacking trust in current government-led efforts to make anything better.

Rooted in the success of Rekindle Supplementary schools, and utilising exceptional work already being done by so many young people, schools and organisations nationwide, we want to support, capture and amplify.

The Rekindle Foundation facilitates collaboration, innovation and brave steps forward, before capturing and distilling what is working and then disseminating this more widely for greater impact. And we do it for free.

The Rekindle Foundation is growing the network of those who know a change is needed, who want equitable outcomes and an enjoyable educational experience for both young people and those who support them.

We mean it when we say that ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ and we are committed to ensuring that all those passionate about the change that is needed are able to contribute, to have their voices heard and to be able to make a difference.

Young people

The core and heart of why we’re doing what we’re doing:

• If you have strong ideas about what would make a meaningful difference in education of all young people to make learning a more joyful and successful experience for all, we would love to hear from you and find out more
• If you are 16-25 and want to apply for one of our research places to find out more about the opportunities we have to participate in and lead research, you can reach us here

Educators

A pivotal and powerful force for change without whom we can’t succeed:

• If you are a teacher, support staff member, leader or trainee, and you want to learn more about our vision or to be a part of the conversation, please reach out to us
• If you feel that you are a ‘Rekindle’ educator at heart and that we can learn from what you’re doing, we would love to hear from you

Academics and researchers

Those who provide us with the evidence-based reflection and critical thinking that we need to make our work truly impactful:

• If you are involved in academia and/or research relating to either education and/or the underserved groups above, your work could prove so powerful in our journey and we’d love to talk about how we could work together
• If you’re interested in supporting our youth-led research, we would be so grateful to hear from you

Families

Your young people thrive with your input and we grow with your input:

• If you’d like to contribute to our gathering of voices and feel that you may be able to contribute ideas, time or skills, you can help us here

Corporate Friends

Without you, our dreams would never have got off the ground in the first place:

• A corporate partnership with Rekindle isn’t just about us asking you for money. A partnership with Rekindle means sharing our long-term vision to support young people to create real change and impact. A partnership with us is as much about you gaining from the relationship, as it is for us.
