IntoUniversity Brent opened in April 2008, and was the third centre to be launched by the charity. The team has been delivering the IU programme to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds ever since.
Last year, the team saw 121 students regularly at the Academic Support sessions which run from Monday to Thursday during term-time. They supported 857 students on the FOCUS programme this year, and had 35 mentoring pairs meeting regularly, with 48 more secondary students taking part in the Buddy Programme.
Centre Update
This term, IU Brent delivered an 'Around the World' FOCUS week includng a fascinating Japanese workshop in Japanese language, calligraphy and origami. The centre also ran the new Leadership in FOCUs programme with students from Academic Support and some new referrals. At the end of the week the students took part in rock climbing to demonstrate the teamwork and leadership skills they had learnt.
