Reaching WiderReaching Wider North Wales Partnership“Too many people who could potentially benefit from HE still believe that higher education is not for them. HE must break down these perceived barriers.” (Higher Education and the Learning Country, March 2002) The Reaching Wider initiativeIn collaboration with local partners, Glyndŵr University has been a key player in promoting and developing a range of different Reaching Wider activities to raise awareness of higher education. The Reaching Wider initiative is a Wales-wide, Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) strategy, established in 2002, to widen participation and access to higher education, supporting social inclusion and up skilling. The Reaching Wider initiative focuses on four main groups of people who are currently under-represented in Higher Education. These groups are those living in Communities First areas, people from ethnic minority communities, those who wish to study through the medium of Welsh and people who have a disability. See further details and examples of activities considered for funding.
