Procurement Information

This is a unique partnership with the MU Foundation, The Foyle Learning Community and several UU departments to support educational attainment and aspiration at the Magee campus at Derry~Londonderry. The UU/MUF Partnership identifies and creates opportunities for collaborative educational outreach between UU, FLC and the wider Northwest community, with the following partnership objectives: * to deliver educational programmes to develop a long-term partnership that is focused on delivering positive impacts and outcomes for young people in Derry~Londonderry initially, evolving to other agreed areas of Northern Ireland over time. * work 'where people need our support'; that is to work primarily in those areas that suffer from considerable socio-economic challenge (indicators are free school meals, indices of multiple deprivation). The Partnership co-designs a portfolio of programmes addressing the challenges young people face, such as low levels of confidence, motivation, teacher and school disengagement, anti-social behaviour, low attainment and low aspirations. The programmes currently dovetail existing WAP schools outreach, giving additional partnership benefit to the schools and pupils.
