Care Leavers in Higher Education

The Frank Buttle Trust is the largest UK charity providing grants to young people from care backgrounds in need of financial support. The University of Chichester has recently been successful in its application for The Frank Buttle Trust Quality Mark, and has appointed Janet Johnston as the Care Leavers Co ordinator.

Applicants who tick the appropriate ‘Care Leavers Box’ on their UCAS form will be contacted directly by the Care Leavers Co ordinator at the University of Chichester. Their details will be handled confidentially and will be considered by a review panel as to whether they are able to access the extra support and guidance package offered by the University of Chichester.
