Media Reviews
' - as important a resource as ever. The National Union of Students has happily recommended the guide to students, their families and advisers for many years and this twelfth edition is no exception. It's an incredibly accessible way to identify potential funds from a huge range of trusts and charities that might otherwise remain obscure - and that help may make all the difference to a struggling student.' Liam Burns, President National Union of Students (from the Foreword) 'The guide has proved an extremely useful resource for directing individuals to appropriate sources of funding for their studies. Clearly set out and easy to use.' Diane Roberts, Senior Information Adviser, Wales Council for Voluntary Action 'It is used like our right arm! It should be available in all prisons so women can research and access funding themselves and so enable them to take responsibility proactively for their own situations and future.' Perri Northage Advisor, Women in Prison 'This guide is a hidden gem. For our users needing additional support, this directory opens up so many opportunities which would otherwise be unknown to us.' Darren Simpson Project Manager, Walton Youth Project
