This event brought together all 17 projects from the Addressing Barriers to Student Success programme to celebrate achievements and to share findings, effective practice and lessons learned.
We hosted an event to showcase the Office for Students' £7.5 million catalyst fund - Addressing Barriers to Student Success (ABSS).
There were opportunities throughout the day for partnerships to participate in discussion sessions and share their thoughts and learning during the workshop sessions.
