Most of our students come from Queen Mary and UCL with others coming from LSE, SOAS, The Petchey Academy in Dalston and BSIX College in Clapton.
Over the years hundreds of students have volunteered on our mentoring projects. During this academic year alone, over 90 students have committed to the weekly projects, giving up to 4 hours a week to local primary and secondary school pupils.
8 of our primary school mentoring projects - the ReachOut! Club, are coordinated by student volunteers who plan and supervise up to 10 other volunteer mentors as well as 10 mentees. This means that 80 school children in Tower Hamlets and Hackney are able to receive weekly mentoring directly thanks to student volunteers.
ReachOut! was itself set up by students in 1994 – that’s 18 years of student volunteering!
In case you didn’t notice, students are integral to the projects we run so we’d like to thank them for all their hard work!
