About us Why we exist Why we exist What we do At Inspire Alpine® we dream of a world where all young people have the opportunity to succeed. Yet, there is a persistent gap in progress through school between young people from our richest and poorest areas. This attainment gap has a profound impact on young people’s future career options and income levels. We believe that your economic background should never define your future. This is fundamentally unfair. Our social mission is to help close this attainment gap. What is the Attainment Gap? Social Impact Activities To help close the attainment gap, we offer free inspirational talks & purposeful outdoor adventures to schools in the most deprived areas to help raise aspirations & build confidence & resilience. These activities are designed, delivered and led by Inspire Alpine® founder Ricky Munday, who grew up on a council estate near Glasgow but overcame economic adversity to qualify as a Chartered Accountant & Mountain Leader and reach the summit of Everest in 2018. Ricky has lived experience of the barriers that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds face to unlock their undoubted potential. We believe passioniately in in the power of social mobility and we strive to ensure that disadvantaged young people have the opportunity to follow their dreams.
