Case Study: Access All Areas

“What’s it all about?”

Access All Areas are a group of students who design and run educational volunteer projects in schools, colleges, communities and on campus.  We are a community of students who care about improving access and widening participation in education. Since 2012, we’ve built a reputation nationally for being one of the best for student leadership in educational outreach!

“What will I do?”

The choice is yours, you can:
•    Run workshops in schools and communities
•    Join a mentoring scheme
•    Facilitate society taster sessions
•    Host campus visits
•    Attend/organise education events
•    Design and lead on your own education project

 “Is this for me?”

We need people who are broadminded and care about equality to join a fantastic community of volunteers at the Students’ Union. You will help us make a positive difference in education and gain plenty of skills, knowledge and networks along the way.

"It is a privilege to be able to give back to the local people and provide educational opportunities to those who might not have otherwise had access to them. For me personally, the most rewarding part of Access All Areas has been knowing that my project has had an impact on children and allowed them to consider the possibilities of higher education."
