IntoUniversity

We deliver a rounded programme of educational and pastoral support to local people, providing opportunities to raise their aspirations, fulfil their potential and enjoy learning. We offer a 'fresh start' in an appealing local learning centre.

Main Activity

Our Community Education Programme provides a structured, integrated set of activities for disadvantaged people in our local area.
Our main work is a community education program, largely for children and young people. We run an after-school study support club helping with homework, a mentoring scheme, a FOCUS provision and an Apprenticeship scheme, all of which help aspire young people to get into University. We also provide a summer Carnival arts program and English Classes for adults on low income.
