Empowering black-heritage futures
Black-heritage students have the lowest acceptance rates to top universities and face barriers to securing highly skilled jobs.
Our transformational mentoring programmes support them to overcome these challenges and achieve a more prosperous future. Last year 53% of our students were first in their family to go to university. 38% of them were on free school meals.
