Peppo
Peppo is a not-for-profit committed to bridging the educational gap for students experiencing disadvantage. They provide paid tutoring services to private clients, with all profits funding free tutoring. In addition, they deliver careers and revision events designed to broaden opportunities and raise aspirations.
Peppo’s careers events are designed to be far more than simply informative - they are energetic, inspiring, and really fun experiences that leave students feeling motivated about their futures. Over the past two years, hundreds of students from disadvantaged backgrounds have connected with leading law firms, barristers’ chambers and Government bodies, gaining valuable insight into careers in law.
