Our ambassadors
Meet Munera
Munera is a hero, after overcoming huge adversity during A-levels she secured a place to study English at Queen Marys University London.
“The Bridging Project provided useful career opportunities and insights. The programme helped me remain resilient and committed to staying at university”
Meet Boni
Boni is proof that you get out of life what you put into it. Since starting university at Kings College London she has secured several work experience placements and international opportunities.
“The Bridging Project has enabled me to organise my priorities and helped me maintain financial stability. The coaching sessions have enabled me to rationalise any difficulties which were impacting on my studies. This has hugely reduced the anxiety of transitioning from sixth form to university.”
What students are saying
“My coach worked to remind me of my academic abilities, which made me feel less out of place and deserving of my place at university. It helped me overcome any anxiety I felt due to being a minority”
