Social Mobility Foundation (SMF) work with young people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds to ensure that access to the changing job market is fair, and shaped by potential, not by where you went to school, grew up or what your parents do for work. SMF was founded on a simple belief: that where you come from shouldn't determine where you can go.
Our colleagues support the SMF through mentoring, volunteering, and career insight activities. By sharing our skills and experiences, we support young people to overcome barriers to opportunity and build the confidence to pursue their future ambitions.

Pfizer is part of Tent UK, a coalition of over 80 companies in the UK committed to connecting refugees to work. The coalition is part of the Tent Partnership for Refugees’ global network of 500+ companies committed to the labour market integration of refugees through hiring, training, and mentorship.

By focusing on practical skills, we hope to empower, and enhance chances of finding meaningful employment.
"Being part of Tent’s Mentoring Refugee Programme has been a genuinely rewarding experience. I’ve been paired with someone I feel I can meaningfully support, while also gaining new perspectives that have challenged my own thinking – she’s an inspiration. We built trust quickly, enabling honest conversations beyond the brief, and the programme’s guidance and flexibility have made it both impactful and enjoyable. I look forward to every session."
