AccessHE

AccessHE is the widening participation arm of London Higher. 

We believe passionately that widening participation in higher education is a force for good, and that anyone with the ability and desire to pursue higher education study in London should be able to do so, irrespective of their background or circumstances. 

Our work aims to increase rates of access to higher education in London for underrepresented groups, and to improve their outcomes in and post-HE.  

We achieve that goal by acting as a capacity-builder, a convenor and an advocate on behalf of our members, so that their access and participation work is more impactful, visible, and regionally coordinated. Our support for members falls into three broad categories: 

• We engage with government to ensure access and participation work across London is properly supported and recognised by policy  

• We upskill staff in frontline outreach and student support roles 

• We broker place-based partnerships involving London HE that lead to more joined-up forms of support for Londoners throughout their HE journey. 

You can find out more about some of our flagship projects via the initiatives page.
