Equipping students to engage with debating and politics, no matter their background.
We have a range of free resources and support for teachers, coaches, students and parents in state-funded schools across the UK. We support schools to establish, run and expand debating societies, and facilitate attendance at external debate competitions.
Debating and politics go hand in hand; thus, we also provide resources covering the basics of British politics to ensure everyone has the information needed to participate in democracy and political discussion.
We never charge our schools for our resources or support because we want all students to have these opportunities.
Learning to voice your opinions and critically engage with ideas is an invaluable skill.
Under the status quo, only a small fraction of state-educated students receive the coaching necessary for competitions or national team trials. Our free resources offer a solution by empowering teachers to provide this coaching to their students effortlessly, requiring minimal input during sessions.

“[Impart’s] sessions, resources and feedback have been a big influence on [our students’] progress and this result shows that your charity is achieving its aim of trying to level the playing field between state schools and private schools in the realm of debating.”
