Our advocates

We deliver our programme with the help of our student advocates, who are currently studying at our partner institutions. 

Advocates deliver alongside their studies, meaning they can provide knowledge and share their lived experiences of further and higher education with students. 

We ensure all of our advocates are trained and supported to deliver our interventions. 

Why advocates?

Students with a strong sense of belonging are more likely to continue with their studies, report higher levels of wellbeing in education, and have increased levels of confidence. 

Our advocates help us increase students sense of belonging in further and higher education. This gives students the opportunity to see people like them in HE, or to realise that HE students aren’t that different to them.
