2017 off to a flyer...
End of January already? With that in mind, how about a challenge? We need some help in a few areas and we think you can help...
- We need to raise an additional £20k to see us through to the summer 2017
- We are looking for more English mentors to start immediately
- Can you help us find some new guest speakers?
- Please make some suggestions for a new student graduation venue
Finally, all our upcoming programme and event dates are available here, including our winter mentor dinner on Monday, 27th February 2017 - a great way to cheer up your Monday!

£20K still needed!
The fact of the matter for most small charities in the UK is that we need to constantly look for enough funding to run our programmes and projects.
Here are a few ways you can help us through to July 2017:
- Help us find Patrons for our Patron Club
- Help us find willing participants for our 10K winter run
- Look out for corporate social responsibility opportunities within your business networks

English mentors needed!
Do you know anyone that may like to join us for a few Saturdays of English mentoring? Our mentoring sessions are fun, interactive and great way to meet new people. More details can be found here: http://myonedegree.org/mentors/

New guest speakers needed!
Aspiration and inspiration are a big factor in the success of our programmes. We are constantly on the look out for new guest speakers to inspire, educate, enlighten and share pearls of wisdom or just an interesting story. Do you know of someone? It will involve spending 30 minutes to one hour with us at either Westminster Academy or Woodside High School on a Saturday.

Where should our next student graduation be?
We are looking for new venues to celebrate the success of our students' achievements each year. Do you know of an exciting place that may like to host us in June 2017?
