HUB for SUCCESS

Charitable trust and donor support helps care experienced individuals to access education.

The HUB for SUCCESS is an award-winning collaborative partnership hosted by Edinburgh Napier that is transforming lives. Its mission is twofold: helping care-experienced individuals to access or remain in education, and advocating for systemic change.

Your support is giving all students the opportunity to fulfil their potential

Traditional widening participation programmes have not been reaching care experienced students effectively, but the HUB is proving to be a game changer. 

HUB for SUCCESS recently celebrated its 5th anniversary - Lorraine Moore highlights some of the achievements from the last 5 years and discusses upcoming milestones.

The HUB's Student Ambassador programme has been fundamental to this impact.

The HUB employs just 5 staff and coordinates a team of 26 care-experienced students as part of its paid Student Ambassador programme. Championed by generous support from a wide range of individual donors, charitable trusts, and corporate foundations, these ambassadors are instrumental in the design, development, and delivery of all of the HUB's projects, ensuring it's work is driven by a deep understanding of the issues and concerns effecting care-experienced learners.

While core funding for the HUB comes from its education partners, it is reliant on philanthropic income for aspects of its crucial work across Edinburgh and South East Scotland.
