Sir Peter Lampl is a philanthropist who has given over £50 million and worked for 20 years to combat educational inequality. In 1997 he founded the Sutton Trust with the aim of improving social mobility. The Trust has funded over 200 research studies, and it initiates and supports a wide range of programmes, covering everything from early years education to access to the professions.

The son of a Viennese émigré, Peter Lampl grew up in modest circumstances in Yorkshire until the age of 11, when his family relocated to Surrey. He attended grammar schools, Oxford University and the London Business School. He worked as a management consultant and businessman in the USA and Europe, and in 1983 he set up the Sutton Company, an international private equity firm.

His first move into philanthropy came in the wake of the Dunblane school shootings in 1996, when he funded the campaign which led to a complete ban on the private ownership of handguns in the UK.

His interest in social mobility was sparked by his realisation that in recent years "a kid like me had little chance of making it to Oxbridge", noting that his school was now "all fee-paying" and his Oxford college "used to have lots of ordinary Welsh kids, but they're not coming through any more."

He received an OBE in 2000 for services to Access to Higher Education, and was knighted in June 2003.



彼得-兰普尔爵士是一位慈善家，他捐赠了超过5千万英镑，并在20年里致力于打击教育不平等。1997年，他成立了萨顿信托，目的是改善社会流动性。该信托基金已经资助了200多项研究，并发起和支持了一系列广泛的项目，涵盖了从早期教育到进入职业的所有内容。

彼得-兰普尔是一个维也纳移民的儿子，在约克郡的普通环境中长大，直到11岁时，他的家人搬到了萨里。他在文法学校、牛津大学和伦敦商学院上学。他曾在美国和欧洲担任管理顾问和商人，并于1983年成立了萨顿公司，一家国际私募股权公司。

他第一次进入慈善事业是在1996年的邓布兰校园枪击案之后，当时他资助了一场运动，导致英国全面禁止私人拥有手枪。

他对社会流动性的兴趣是由他意识到近年来 "像我这样的孩子几乎没有机会进入牛津剑桥 "而引发的，他指出他的学校现在 "都是收费的"，他的牛津大学 "曾经有很多普通的威尔士孩子，但他们不再来了。"

他于2000年因对高等教育的贡献而获得OBE勋章，并于2003年6月被封为爵士。
