Academic year of 2019- 2020 We want to help support our participants with an equality of opportunities within their educational achievements- to help to close the attainment gaps by means such as 1-2-1 tutoring support for our young people on low incomes, and through providing equipment for them to study with. As community, lets come together to support our young people to be the very best that that can be- can you help by volunteering as a tutor on our Tutor Project?
