LTSB

Who we are

Leadership Through Sport and Business (LTSB) is a social mobility charity that prepares and supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds into meaningful roles with major firms. We make sure those at risk of under-employment find careers equal to their ambition and ability, and can contribute from their first day on the job.

Since 2012, we’ve worked with 1963 young people, providing them with personal and professional development to prepare them for the world of work, then working to place them in roles across accountancy & finance, digital technology, customer service, law, marketing and insurance.

Our culture and values

OUR VISION: A world where all young people can choose their careers.

OUR MISSION: LTSB prepares, connects and supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to careers with leading organisations. We do this by:

- Promoting opportunities to those from under-represented backgrounds

- Preparing young people for the workplace, and the workplace for young people

- Providing pastoral care – a support network for the first year of their career.

OUR VALUES: WE ARE BOLD.

- BESPOKE: using our authority and expertise to meet the specific needs of our stakeholders

- OPEN-MINDED: respecting young people’s unique differences and seeing their potential

- LEADERS: enabling social mobility by challenging discrimination and inequality

- DETERMINED: committed to empowering long-term change. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At LTSB, equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are not just principles we uphold - they are part of our foundation and embedded in everything we do. From our inception, we have championed opportunities for individuals from all walks of life, recognising that diversity enriches our community and drives meaningful change.

EDI is at the heart of who we are. It shapes the way we work, the decisions we make, and the impact we strive to achieve. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive, regardless of their background, identity, or circumstance.

Our mission is to break down barriers and build bridges to opportunity. We actively challenge inequality, promote inclusivity, and celebrate the unique contributions of all individuals. We believe that by embracing diversity in all its forms, we can foster innovation, inspire excellence, and make a lasting difference.

At LTSB, EDI is not just a commitment - it is who we are.
