We are excited to announce that Franklin Scholars has been picked as one of just seven organisations to participate in the 2019 Spring Impact Scale Accelerator! Supported by National Lottery Funding, the Scale Accelerator programme helps mission-driven organisations gain vital support, skills and perspective to scale up their impact and change more lives.

Over the next year, we will benefit from an intensive programme of support, using Spring Impact’s five-stage replication process. This will improve our strategic planning and help us grow our programmes to more schools over the next few years, through the development of a clear action plan for scale.

Other members of the 2019 Cohort, who will work with us (and alongside us) through the Scale Accelerator programme, include:
