ESCAPING BRITAIN'S BAD VIBES

Britain is about to lose more than just a chunk of change.

With the ‘immigration election’ now behind us, our latest study, "Get(ting) Out," - surveying over 1,600 16-34 year old minority Brits reveals that

66%

of young, 1st and 2nd generation immigrant Brits are thinking about bailing on the UK.

Meet Folu, Annie, Nour, Sunny, Farihaa, Aisha, and Omar—voters aged 18-34, sharing why they’re ready to leave. Spoiler: It’s not just ‘bad vibes.’ The UK could lose a significant portion of its £4.5 billion annual disposable income as these young Brits eye greener pastures abroad, lamenting the UK’s cost of living & housing crisis, lack of opportunity, government policies and racial inequality.

These stories are more than stats — they’re a call to action. Dive into our interactive report featuring video stories and a striking photo campaign, paying homage to the iconic Get Out film. Discover why these young voices are turning away from the UK, what this means for the country’s future and what needs to be done to keep them here.
