The UKAP Foundation is a UK-registered charity dedicated to advancing the education and life opportunities of young adults, particularly, but not exclusively, those of Albanian heritage. What began as a volunteer-led network in 2010 has grown into a fully recognised charitable foundation powered by more than 42 volunteers and guided by our Board of Trustees.

Our mission is to strengthen social mobility by giving young people the knowledge, skills and support they need to progress in life. With your help, we can open more doors, fund more programmes and expand our reach to transform even more lives.

Education has the power to change a young person’s future. Your support enables us to provide:

Financial assistance for students demonstrating merit and/or need, helping them access higher education and unlock life-changing opportunities

With the support of our volunteers and community partners, the UKAP Foundation continues to grow in scale and impact.
