Belonging and Mattering

Dear all,

Firstly, I hope that you are continuing to keep well and safe. Maybe some of you are now on holiday or planning a break, in which case - have a great time resting/relaxing/having fun, all of those things seem crucial right now.

This newsletter is a very short one just to let you know about two things we'd love you to read/take a look at. Firstly, the below blog was published about our work in universities at the weekend, I'm really proud that it references the way we have adapted our approach during covid to continue supporting those that need it most.

"I felt heard"....We were featured in the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) blog at the weekend for our work on belonging and mattering in universities. It makes a great five-minute read so do click on the image above and take a look, brilliantly authored by Les Ebdon (former Director of Fair Access) and David Woolley (Director of Student Engagement at Nottingham Trent University). We are lucky enough to have them on our Advisory and Trustee boards respectively. 

As mentioned in the last news update, we've been working on an overhaul of our website. Well (drum-roll) the new site is now up, please click on the image and let us know your thoughts. We have tried to make it clean and clear, easier to find what you need and providing enough of a taste of Grit that potential partners will want more. All feedback welcome.

That's all from me for now. I'll be in touch again soon to let you know about some exciting changes to our board but until then have a wonderful, relaxing summer.Stay connected and safe

Ellie
