Impact report : Our year in voices

Introducing our impact report for 2024/25.

‘Our year in voices’ details our impact over the last academic year. Here we celebrate our successes and, more importantly, the successes of our students. Once again, we demonstrate that our intervention has a benchmark-beating impact on the young people we work with.

And what is the difference we are making?

Through external verification from UCAS, we know that the young people we work with are over 50% more likely to attend top universities than demographically and academically similar students. To have this external verification of our impact is crucial for us as we remain committed to delivering evidenced interventions that break down educational barriers faced by students from under-resourced areas and, ultimately, achieve social mobility.

Our year in voices

Thank you to all the key voices that contributed to this report. Without all our valued funders, educational partners, corporate partners, trustees, staff, advisory council members, coaches and tutors, we would not be able to deliver our mission. And special thanks to all the students and alumni for demonstrating the value of our programmes more powerfully than we ever could. We look forward to seeing what we can do together in the year ahead.

The Access Project helps young people from under-resourced backgrounds achieve their academic potential and place at top universities. By donating to our programme or volunteering with us, you’re helping the country’s most under-resourced young people find their way to a brighter future.
