Summer Giving
Support a young person to thrive in education by donating to The Access Project this summer.
Support The Access Project this summer
School’s out for summer, but the hard work has just begun.
Young people from under-resourced backgrounds are three times less likely to attend a top university than their wealthier peers. Inequality in education is growing, which means more and more talented young people are missing out on valuable opportunities.
We’re working to change that. Our team works with some of the most under-resourced young people across the country, helping them to raise their aspirations, develop life skills, and achieve their dreams. And now, we’re asking you to be part of that journey.
£1,500 supports one student to attend a top university. With your donations, we can reach more young people in need than ever before – and help create a fairer future for the next generation.
Young people like Yazmin are 50% more likely to attend university after studying with The Access Project.
By giving this summer, you can help talented young people to unlock their potential and thrive in education.

“I was feeling the full weight of poverty and dealing with the constant threat of violence as a young Black man living in inner city London. This path that I’ve been on for the past couple of years all started with these voices which instilled in me that I can truly become anything I want to become.”

“I have missed school a lot due to my health, but the support I have received through The Access Project has helped me gain my confidence back. It has helped me with my goals, college applications, and my grades”.
