[x] Our Mission intro copy We’re on a mission to promote collaboration between employers, The State and Third Sector to address the issues faced by those from low-income backgrounds entering the workforce.
We want this to be the place where you can find out, in one place, what the issues are, who is doing something about them and how you can get involved no matter who you are or where you are in the UK.

[x] Life Stages Research landing page intro copy Here you can find out what the critical issues are across a persons lifetime; how disadvantage can build from early years if we don't do something different. The Bridge Group have sifted through a huge volume of research on social mobility to bring you an easy to read summary for each life stage. The first step to solving a problem is understanding it. Dive in, explore and join our newsletter.

[x] Activity Map intro copy So you want to find what's happening where you are, at the touch of a button; our Activity Map will do just that. Our volunteer group are working right now on mapping organisations, programmes and individuals all over the country taking action to improve social mobility. The Activity Map will mean that you can easily connect to others for locally relevant guidance and help, whether you are working in a school, business, government or just an individual who wants to get involved.

[x] Best Practice intro copy The information in Life Stages tells us that social mobility remains a problem, and it's getting worse. The work we are doing on the Activity Map tells us there is a huge amount of work being done to tackle the problem. You're here reading this, and we know many more like you want to make a difference. But what works?
We've commissioned a panel to review each organisation and programme focused on the different Life Stages. The panel will look at opportunities for better collaboration within and across Life Stages. The work will result in;
○ a summary of gaps in provision for any Life Stage or specific geographic areas ○ a spotlight on best in class providers measured on outcomes achieved ○ recommendations for new innovation
- [x] and then after the panel list, change the 2 paragraphs to:
Authored by Dr Catherine McGregor, the ESMA panel will produce a guide which summarises key recommendations identified by the Life Stages teams. ESMA also hopes to raise an incubator fund to enable the sharing of best practice materials, and support creative and radical innovation that has the promise to improve people's lives across the UK.

(boxes heights have been increased to 739px (or 339px for just the white box, excluding the photo above) retaining the 24px padding around. I have moved the description text up slightly towards the headings so the spacing between the headings (Early years, School years, etc) and the description text below, is now 12px.
Early years: Children from low socio-economic status families perform 11 months behind their peers from middle-income families in terms of their readiness for school at age 5.
School years: Educational inequality is persistent and widespread. Pupils’ attainment is closely associated with their parents’ class background and is a factor of where they happen to live.
Further education: Successive governments have invested heavily in graduates — seeing their skills as vital for economic prosperity — and have largely overlooked the importance of vocational routes for social equality.
Higher education: Far from narrowing the gaps, higher education can reinforce inequalities and entrench both class and White racial privilege.
Working life: There are inequalities across the labour market based on socio-economic background, ethnicity and gender (and complex intersections that can intensify the experience of deprivation).
