About This Cause
About The Access Project The Access Project is a groundbreaking charity that helps students from disadvantaged backgrounds win places at top universities. This is an issue that matters. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds are five times less likely to make it to a top university than peers from more advantaged backgrounds (DfE). Unsurprisingly this is a significant factor in the decline in social mobility in the UK in recent years, and we are working to fix it. The main way we address this issue is by helping students from less affluent backgrounds to achieve better grades: we match our students with a volunteer graduate who tutors them for an hour a week. We also have a team of talented University Access Officers who work directly in schools to deliver university support that enables our students to progress to competitive universities. We know our programme works. Students with The Access Project are twice as likely to place at a top university, compared to statistically similar students (UCAS Strobe, 2021). The Access Project is a regional organisation, working with schools in London, the Midlands, West Yorkshire and the North West.
