Brightside's vision is a society where everyone has equal access to opportunities, regardless of their background. In the UK, access to opportunities is often determines more by where you grow up or what your parents do than your strengths and aspirations. Brightside is working to change that by connecting young people with inspiring mentors to help them make confident and informed decisions about their future. We are pioneers in digital mentoring with nearly twenty years’ experience of using technology to have a positive impact on young people.
