Education Alliance for Life Chances

About

Working Together to Transform Children’s Life Chances

The Education Alliance for Life Chances (EALC) is an independent charity that connects Bradford’s education system with leaders in health, children’s services, policing, public and voluntary sectors, policymakers and frontline professionals. Together, we are working to reduce childhood inequalities and improve life chances through education.

We believe lasting change can only be achieved through collaboration. That’s why we bring together professionals and communities to co-design bold, place-based solutions backed by research and data.

Our Vision & Mission

We believe every child in Bradford deserves good life chances — no matter their background. Our mission connects schools with public services and research partners to create a joined-up, evidence-led system that supports every child to thrive.

Our History & Legacy

EALC was formed in 2022 to continue the legacy of the £16m Bradford Opportunity Area. The data, projects and people involved have built the foundations for a whole-system change.

Our Leadership & Board

Our Partnership Board includes NHS leaders, headteachers, police, researchers, and community representatives. Together, we guide strategy and shape local action.
