Big Give Target Achieved!

We reached our Big Give target thanks to you!

It was a close one this year with the final donation coming in and pushing us over the line with only 5 minutes to spare!

A quick reminder of what you are helping us achieve – 5 points from our 2025/26 programme so far:

1. Earlier programme start ever: A late September start is our earliest programme start in 16 years! The programme is currently active in several Ark schools, plus three non-Ark schools.
2. More students: At present, 123 students are registered, with 53 actively using the platform. 300+ potential student interviews are lined up for the next 2 months. 
3. Increased mentor session options: A total of 283 one to one sessions have already been booked over the last three months alone.
4. Improved quality: Session quality remains strong, with a very low number of no-shows, and an average mentor rating of 4.7 out of 5 (by the students).
5. Dynamic areas of support: The most requested support areas continue to be Maths and English, alongside strong interest in career guidance, especially in healthcare, engineering, and creative subjects.
