Hepp, HeppSY, and our outreach activities
Hepp and HeppSY both deliver higher education outreach activities aimed at showing learners the opportunities available at higher education and the benefits of progressing to higher education and gaining higher level skills. The activities may also work to support learner academic confidence and attainment. In addition to delivering activities directly to learners, we also provide support for parents, carers, teachers and advisers, with the aim of enabling these key influencers to support for their learners.
Hepp (Higher Education Progression Partnership) aims to increase the number and proportion of young people progressing to university and higher education from underrepresented groups. Hepp are jointly funded by Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield.
HeppSY (Higher Education Progress Partnership South Yorkshire) is part of the Uni Connect Programme (UCP), which aims to increase the number of learners progressing to higher education, regardless of their background. HeppSY is funded by the Office for Students (OfS).
