Turning your donations into books for students from lower-income households. It's not magic, but it is amazing.

We know that going to Uni is one of the best routes to social mobility for young people from poorer families 👇
Fully agree with @UniversitiesUK call for better student maintenance for these youngsters.
@suttontrust
Going to university can be life changing, creating opportunities people may not otherwise have had🌟
No one should be put off because of financial concerns.
We're calling on the government to increase the maintenance support package in the #AutumnBudget
ALT Quote from Jennifer Dominic, Senior Brand and Customer Manager at Canterbury Christ Church University. "University is the beginning of doors opening. When you cultivate those opportunities properly, you make your university experience more than just a paid-for experience. It has a bigger value than anyone could think of."

Another university visit last week for our students, this time: The University of Durham 🎓
Students who are the first in their family to go to university must know they are welcome at the UK’s prestigious institutions.

On Wonk Corner: Student support in England is being cut again in real terms wonkhe.com/wonk-corner/stude…
Reading List Foundation retweeted
Higher-than-expected inflation has continued to erode the real value of maintenance loans.
Students in 2023–24 will be entitled to borrow 11% less towards their living costs than they were in 2020–21, a cut of £110 a month for the poorest students.

On the afternoon of Tuesday 19th September there will be a Westminster hall debate on the cost of living for students.
Below is a link to a survey for students to share their experiences:

Average student rent now outstrips the maximum maintenance loan. Those who blithely assure young people that the HE funding model makes university affordable ('no upfront fees', 'repay only once you start earning', etc.) perhaps need to reflect on this. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

There's also the Q of the overall amount of maintenance available (through loans or grants) - maintenance loans in England are only going up 2.8% this year vs 10%+ inflation, 33% of students from working class families are skipping meals to cut costs - suttontrust.com/our-research…
Reading List Foundation retweeted
Really hoping we do see a re-introduction of maintenance grants. The poorest students shouldn't be loaded with the biggest debts because their families can't afford to support them with living costs.

🚨 NEW: A third of students from working class families and 28% of students overall say they have skipped meals to save on food costs during the cost of living crisis, our research finds.
Students are now spending less on essentials as a result of increased costs.

I'm currently working with a student from @ULHistory exploring student perspectives of reading lists, trying to ascertain what 'good' looks like nationally. We've got (paid) focus groups running week after next. Can I get a RT to spread the word?
