In this report, we celebrate best practice to advance social mobility in 2024-25, focusing on the employers and educators who won UK Social Mobility Awards (SOMOs) in 2025. Across 14 award categories, we explore what winners did to advance social mobility in 2024-25, key enabling factors, challenges overcome, and their future plans.
Our 2025 winners represent organisations and individuals across the UK private and public sectors, with industries including accounting, education, health and social care, finance, law, media, sports & entertainment, and professional services.
Together, the case studies present inspiring, practical examples of how to improve social mobility from the classroom to the workplace.
