The Armitage Foundation

In 2018 Leanne Armitage joined forces with Daniel Huf to co-found The Armitage Foundation. The Armitage Foundation is a charity committed to increasing diversity across UK medical schools. At present, 50% of the schools across the UK do not produce a single medical applicant! The Armitage Foundation is working to change these statistics so that the medical profession better reflects the diverse society it serves. 

​

The Armitage Foundation provides medical outreach programmes designed to inspire, equip and increase the self-confidence of students from low socio-economic backgrounds and certain ethnic minorities. We believe in a long-term intervention approach, as the vehicle to creating sustainable change. Currently, we are in the process of developing a 3-tier programme designed to support students from year 8 up until their application to medical school in Sixth Form.
