Careers at

By the time they start school, children from socio-economically disadvantaged families are already less likely to meet expected levels of intellectual development. As time goes on, these gaps grow wider, leading to poorer education and career outcomes. Inequalities also make it more difficult to access the arts, media, and cultural sectors—not only because these fields still favour those who are better off and well-connected, but also because entry-level opportunities are often prohibitively expensive to pursue. Wild Peach Project works with people who haven’t had access to the same spaces, resources, and knowledge. We work to close disadvantage gaps in education and the arts through three main activities: our magazine publishes new voices and diverse perspectives; our education team develops and reinforces programmes that identify available opportunities for people from disadvantaged communities; and we offer mentorship, resources, and expertise to help people improve their attainment. We also advocate for policy changes to make education more accessible for everyone.
