Data & Strategy:
Advancing social mobility through national awards
The aim of the UK Social Mobility Awards, led by the charity Making the Leap, is to promote social mobility throughout the country. The SOMOs will recognise & celebrate the achievements of businesses and organisations in their work of advancing social mobility.
The SOMOs themselves are a unique set of awards that have been specifically established to recognise and encourage action that will promote and increase social mobility within Britain’s companies and institutions. These awards will recognise best practice and innovation and celebrate excellence and achievement and elevate social mobility as a cause equal to the level of other diversity issues.
SOMO firmly believe that, by raising awareness and celebrating the people and organisations that are committed to bringing about change, together they can year on year advance the cause of social mobility in this country. There will be 12 award categories, 3 individual and 9 business/organisation, selected to focus on those areas where a real difference can be made by taking the right actions.
