Future Academy UK

The objects of Future Academy UK are for the public benefit to advance in life and relieve the needs of refugees up to the age of 18, living in the UK and overseas, by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals.

Future Academy UK provides outreach and supplementary education to refugee children living in the UK and overseas.

Future Academy UK is committed to minimising administration and support costs; 100% of donations were spent directly on charitable activities in 2023.
