To celebrate IntoUniversity working with our 250,000th student, we are hosting a series of events and a ‘250’ themed challenge to raise an ambitious target of £250,000 to support the continuation of our transformative work.
At IntoUniversity, we’re privileged to witness and play a role in helping young people realise that there is a future, all of their own, waiting for them. From the original cohort of 17 students which made up the first IntoUniversity intake, we are about to register our 250,000th student. That’s 250,000 young people worked with, 250,000 ambitions sparked, and 250,000 futures shaped.
We want to keep supporting young people to realise their full potential, welcoming more students through our doors with their own future to begin. Join us in supporting the next 250,000 futures.
When I moved to the UK at the age of 13, I didn't speak a word of English, making it tough to do well in school or socialise with my peers. IntoUniversity was an amazingly supportive environment and I'll be forever grateful for the help and patience the team has shown me. Everything good that happened to me professionally stemmed from that first FOCUS Week at IntoUniversity North Kensington. I managed to perfect my English, learned about graduate jobs, university application processes and received careers-related advice. I am now a Director/shareholder of a foreign currency company in London.Bartek, former IntoUniversity North Kensington student turned volunteer and donor.
Throughout the year, both long-standing and new supporters can join us in celebrating this huge milestone by participating in the following events through donating or engaging in a meaningful and fun challenge.
Alongside the charity, our Chief Executive also celebrated a personal milestone, turning 60! To celebrate both huge milestones, Rachel committed to raising £60,000 towards our £250,000 target.
Over the festive season, donations made to IntoUniversity was matched pound for pound by our generous pledgers, doubling the impact of donations of up to £20,000!
