Mentors in motion

The Alumni and Friends Fund Grant, made possible by your donations to the Student Fund, supports projects that enrich university life and enhance the student experience. This year you supported a student mentoring scheme at IntoUniversity Kirkby.
These student mentors are paired with young people aged 10–17 from underrepresented backgrounds, offering one-to-one support in academic development, emotional wellbeing and future aspirations. The initiative provides a valuable experience for both mentors and mentees enhancing young people’s confidence and ambitions while giving University of Liverpool students the chance to develop key communication, leadership, and mentoring skills.
"Thank you so much for your support! Your kindness will mean that our undergraduate students are able to benefit from a volunteering opportunity which would not otherwise have been available to them, improving their employability and allowing them to expand their networks.” - Sarah Hanson, Widening Participation and Outreach Officer
