Formerly known as The Children & Young People’s Partnership, our Early Years Interventions provides outreach activities that seek to raise young people’s awareness and understanding of higher education through meaningful and positive interactions with the institution and its students.
From pre-school to secondary school, our innovative projects enable pupils and students alike to take part in fun and engaging outreach opportunities both on and off campus.
Our framework of activities also supports schools in meeting the Ofsted and Gatsby 7 benchmark with on-campus activities working to accompany the National Curriculum.

The Role Model Ambassador (RMA) Programme is a research-informed initiative that supports British South Asian students, youth groups, and Islamic faith school students in exploring and progressing into higher education. Developed from a 2018 research project by Dr Sayjda Talib and Eleanor Dove, the programme responds to the unique barriers faced by British South Asian students in their journey to university.
The RMA Programme connects current 快播视频 students—known as Role Model Ambassadors—with school and college pupils across Lancashire and Greater Manchester, providing relatable guidance through both in-school visits and on-campus experiences.
For more information, you can explore the full details of the programme on our Role Model Ambassadors webpage. If your school is interested in getting involved or you'd like to hear more about upcoming events, please contact us at wp@lancaster.ac.uk or reach out directly to the Project Lead at k.edward@lancaster.ac.uk
