The South East Wales Reaching Wider Partnership aims to increase participation in higher education by people from underrepresented groups and communities in South East Wales with a specific focus on people who live within the bottom 40% of the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation, care experienced young people, and carers.
The South-East Wales Reaching Wider Partnership is a collaborative programme led by delivery teams at the University of South Wales, Cardiff Metropolitan University and Cardiff University. We meet the aims of Reaching Wider through a suite of programmes to support attainment raising, increase awareness and provide support for progression to higher education and level 4 learning opportunities.
We are part of a continuum of support for learners in South East Wales and work in partnership to deliver the ‘right programmes at the right time’ to enhance progression pathways to Higher Education.
