President’s Charity 2008 to 2010
The Helena Kennedy Foundation
The Helena Kennedy Foundation is named after Baroness Kennedy QC in recognition of her seminal report, ‘Learning Works: Widening Participation in Further Education’, published in July 1997. This report identified that in the UK there were over 15 million adults of working age with no or low level qualifications who encountered significant barriers to learning in higher education.
The Foundation’s mission is to tackle injustice and social exclusion through education by supporting disadvantaged students from the further and adult education sectors to complete their studies in higher education and move on successfully into employment.
