At each local centre, IntoUniversity offers an innovative programme that supports young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods to attain their chosen aspiration, including further and higher education, employment and work-based training.
Our network has grown to 44 centres across England and Scotland – from Newcastle to Norwich and East Ham to Edinburgh – supporting over 50,000 young people each year. But each centre is just like our very first: a local hub for young people, based on their doorsteps - with the newest one being in Middlesbrough!
We care about making a difference for young people, so it has been vital for us to understand what impact our work is having. From the earliest days, the charity has been committed to measuring and evaluating its effectiveness. It’s a challenging time for young people making decisions about their future. Several years on, the long-term impacts of the pandemic, in particular on those from the least advantaged backgrounds, are becoming increasingly clear.
It’s more important than ever that we can be confident our work is having a positive impact on the young people we support. Our annual results show that with our help, thousands of young people (who otherwise wouldn’t have done so) achieve a university place or another chosen aspiration.
Our Opportunities
At IntoUniversity, we put on an opportunity in the evening for primary and secondary school children to come to us to finish their homework, learn new things and have the opportunity to complete projects! This allows them to develop in all ways!
