To support, champion and empower young people from underserved groups to succeed through narrowing opportunity gaps in education, employment and wider society.

Mission 44 stems from Sir Lewis Hamilton’s, decades-long fight for social change – a fight that was further ignited by the events of 2020 and the inequalities brought into stark contrast by the effects of the pandemic.

Having had first-hand experience of an education system that worked against him, and now as the only Black, working class person in his field, Lewis understands that addressing inequalities in education and employment are the necessary first steps towards building a fairer society.
