Significant events

• “The charity's Too Young to Leave Behind campaign continued to generate national impact through the final year. The underlying research - the largest study of its kind, tracking the outcomes of 3.2 million pupils from their first day at school to the end of their GCSEs - found that primary school exclusions disproportionately affect the most vulnerable children: those more likely to experience poverty and to be known to social care, with 97% of children excluded at primary school identified as having Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).”
• “The Final Impact Report forms a central element of the charity's legacy. It reflects on Chance UK's 30-year journey, draws together research findings from across the organisation's history, and provides evidence on outcomes and on who benefits most from mentoring under the youth worker model. It captures children's own voices and experiences and sets out clearly what the evidence shows mentoring can and cannot achieve.”
• “On 15 April 2026, the organisation held a farewell and legacy event for current and former trustees, funders and legacy partners, including a welcome from the Chair, the launch of the Final Impact Report, presentations from legacy partners, and structured networking designed to connect partners with Chance UK's wider network.”
