About us

Inspire is a registered charity established in 2004. Our work is based in Hackney, Camden, Islington and surrounding areas of London. We have merged with 15billionEBP and are continuing as Inspire, expanding our reach to Newham, Barking, Dagenham, and more.

We began as an Education Business Partnership: an organisation which links schools with businesses to provide work experience, work-related learning, enterprise education and Careers Education, Information and Guidance (CEIAG) services. We aim to open doors for the young people of London, improve social mobility and draw businesses' attention to a larger more diverse talent pool.

Brokering these links remains at the heart of our work. However, EBPs are no longer funded by the government. As an independent charity, we rely on the support of businesses, trusts and foundations, and our education partners to continue our mission.
