Join the Dots is a national programme built on the principles of community, connections and coaching. It brings schools and colleges together with universities to develop networks of support for students during the transition to university. It is targeted at students who are most likely to face barriers in making a successful transition to university, and who are at risk of missing out on the lifechanging opportunities that come from successfully earning a degree from a competitive university.

Parent Power creates parent/carer communities across the UK, each one supported by a local partnership. Through support to develop skills in community organising and advice and guidance on accessing higher education, parents are empowered to make change to support their children’s future and ensure their children have a fair chance in education and their future careers.
The model gathers interest from parents, follows up with one-to-one meetings with interested parents, and then facilitates six weekly group meetings led by a local Community Organiser trained in community organising by Citizens UK. The parents themselves decide what activities will benefit their communities, such as tailored visits to universities for young people, visits from university alumni, or training on tutoring, student finance and university access.
