Widening Participation Activities

The Outreach and Widening Participation Team is passionate about breaking down barriers to study

If you would like to book a Widening Participation activity for your students who meet the criteria mentioned, please get in touch. We have a wide variety of activities on offer that we would love to facilitate for your learners.

We can organise Discovery Days for Years 7 to 10 where they meet our students, have a tour of the campus, visit our fantastic gym and fitness suites in LSBU Active, explore our new library and find out what a university is all about – it’s not just about the lectures! We can welcome students to our NHS Simulation Wards to interact with our life-size patient manikins and practice their CPR skills, giving them the chance to work alongside our student nurses and meet our healthcare professionals. Or bring a group of BAME young women to our 4-week after-school STEM Explorer club, and find out about robotics, forensic investigations, and what you find in an owl pellet.

We are also piloting a Fitness Outreach session in our brand-new sports facilities with our professional coaches which will be available from Autumn 2024.

Our Widening Participation Team is always happy to discuss engaging bespoke activities that will impact your pupils and open their eyes to the opportunities that Higher Education can offer. Please contact us to find out more by emailing the Student Recruitment & Outreach Team: outreach@lsbu.ac.uk
