Take a look at the first longitudinal analysis of our mentoring programmes

Today, for the first time, we have data which illustrates the results of our online mentoring programmes, and the links with increased participation in higher education. This robust analysis is based on tracking the trajectories of over 9,000 young people, using the Higher Education Access Tracker (HEAT).

 

The results from this result spark the beginning of our 2020 #YearOfImpact, a year of showcasing the incredible impact of Brightside Mentoring

Our full report on this data will soon be available here and we’re excited to continue to discuss our impact journey with you.
