"Eight UWE student volunteers have signed up to tutor with us this term so far.. Their time will help make up for the education lost as a result of the pandemic develop key skills for their disadvantaged pupils, including subject knowledge, confidence, resilience and motivation. Our UWE volunteers are helping us to work towards our vision of a world in which no child's life chances are limited by their socio-economic background. Thank you so much to our student volunteers for helping make a difference in young people's lives!"
