The Impetus Trust, in partnership with The Sutton Trust, has chosen the first three charities that will receive investment under the joint Early Years Initiative.
Ripplez, Family Links and I CAN were selected because of their evidence-based work with disadvantaged children aged from birth to five and their parents, to help bridge the gap in school readiness between them and their peers.
Impetus chief executive Daniela Barone Soares said: "It’s unacceptable that children’s futures in the UK are still so influenced by their economic background at birth. At Impetus we are proud to focus our expertise at scaling up proven charities and social enterprises on one of the most vulnerable segments of society and are excited at the prospect of helping to put an end to the current inequalities they face."
