About the Founders.

“Unlocking Potential. Fostering Equity. Changing Lives.”   This resonates deeply with the Achieve Equity Foundation’s three founders, Louise Blackburn, Simon Blackburn and Trevor Sutcliffe, who also serve as the directors of Challenging Education.  The majority of their time is spent supporting schools to improve outcomes for disadvantaged learners using the RADY principles.   

Through their roles as directors of Challenging Education, the founders direct funds generated from their work towards the Achieve Equity Foundation. This financial support enables the foundation’s trustees to provide targeted educational grants, fostering equitable opportunities for vulnerable learners.

The resolute commitment of the founders exemplifies the Achieve Equity Foundation’s mission to reducing educational inequalities and transform the lives of those in need. Together, they are driving positive change by unlocking potential, fostering equity, and changing lives through education and opportunity

Our Trustees.

At the heart of the Achieve Equity Foundation’s work are our dedicated trustees.
