Donate to support our mission
Every child deserves a fair chance at education, yet in Brighton & Hove, persistent inequalities continue to hold back young people from the communities of Whitehawk, Manor Farm, and Bristol Estate.
Class Divide is a passionate grassroots movement fighting to transform educational opportunities in East Brighton. We're working tirelessly to challenge harmful stereotypes, unite our community, and dismantle the systemic barriers that prevent local children from reaching their full potential.
Your support will help us build a more equitable future where a child's postcode never determines their prospects. Together, we can create an education system that truly serves all of Brighton & Hove's young people.
Every donation brings us closer to educational justice for all.
