Built From Experience.
Driven by Transformation
Progression365® was founded by Chuka Okey, whose journey from exclusion to transformation forms the heart of our mission.. Suspended from primary school in Year 6 for a weapon related incident, then again in Year 7 for a similar offence, and eventually expelled in Year 9, for an incident involving a dart-gun. By the age of 15, he was convicted of robbery and assault, firmly caught in a cycle of trouble, anger, and poor choices. But a second chance at St. Thomas the Apostle School became his turning point.
Determined to change, Chuka made sacrifices, caught up on years of missed education and transformed from a failing student to earning 2 A’s, 5 B’s, and 3 C’s in his GCSE’s. While his journey still had mistakes, each one taught him the power of focus, responsibility, and perseverance.
Chuka went on to earn an MBA in Consultancy from the University of York, proving that with the right mindset, anything is possible.
Today, he shares his story to inspire youth facing similar challenges—showing them that no matter where they start, they can achieve greatness. That belief powers Progression365®—a mentorship movement helping young people transform their lives and become the greatest versions of themselves, 365 days a year.
