Are you a foster carer / kinship carer wanting to learn more about university to support the young people in your care?

AccessHE and University of East London are hosting an informal coffee morning and information event where we will introduce the basics of applying to university and the specific financial and welfare support available to young people with care experience. There will also be the chance to look around our campus and ask questions in a friendly atmosphere, over light refreshments.

The event will consist of: Arrival and refreshments, Welcome and introductions, Applying to university (and how you can help your young person!), Specialist funding and welfare support at university information, Q & A with university staff and students, Pre-entry and Pre-sessional course information and an Optional campus tour.

On the day there will be university care leaver experts available, as well as current university students, who will be happy to chat about their experiences.

This is the second of three coffee mornings AccessHE will be hosting throughout the year. If you are unable to make this one but would like to attend a future date, please email Messiah Odinma at M.Odinma@uel.ac.uk and we will add you to the invite list for future dates.
