The Brilliant Club

The Brilliant Club is a UK-wide social mobility charity focused on increasing the number of less advantaged students accessing the most competitive universities and supporting them to succeed when they get there. Their flagship Scholars Programme, which launched in 2011, supports students aged 8–18 to progress to the most competitive universities, including Russell Group universities, by giving them the opportunity to learn topics outside of the curriculum and experience university-style learning.
The Brilliant Club was co-founded in 2011 by school teachers Jonathan Sobczyk and Simon Coyle. The charity has offices in London and Leeds, and operates across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
