FUTURE QUEST
MAKING INFORMED CHOICES ABOUT HIGHER EDUCATION
Since 2016/17 we have been one of the key partners* in the National Collaborative Outreach Programme funded by HEFCE, now the Office for Students, which aims to increase the number of young people from target wards going to university.

Being able to grow this work from six schools to 27 schools and 4 colleges and to offer it across the city now is a major development for young people and for Bristol.
