Elevare Education Foundation
Our Education Group has entered an exciting new chapter as the Elevare Civic Education Group - a name that better reflects the powerful civic role we play in our communities and the positive change we help create.
As part of this evolution, the LASER Education Foundation is now the Elevare Education Foundation.
Welcome to Elevare Education Foundation
At Elevare Civic Education Group, we are dedicated to transforming lives through the power of learning and creating opportunities for all.
Our unique structure encompasses London South East Colleges, London South East Academies Trust and the Elevare Education Foundation. We have a strong track record of delivering high-quality education and training across the region, supporting learners from childhood through to adulthood.
As a civic education group, we are an anchor institution, deeply rooted in our communities. We are committed to generating social value and supporting social mobility for all.
Elevare Education Foundation offers a way to break down educational barriers, raise aspirations, and create life-changing opportunities by funding initiatives such as scholarships, sensory learning spaces and supporting well-being.
The Foundation strengthens our impact, reinforces our values, and ensures our work continues to be recognised as a vital force for social good. Through a programme of events and partner opportunities, we invite you to be part of our journey and help us transform lives through the power of learning.
"Our mission is to give everyone the chance to succeed, regardless of background. By removing barriers and providing opportunities, we are supporting people to build skills, confidence and make a lasting impact on their communities."
