Welcome to Many Hands

What’s it all about?

Many Hands is a safe, discreet peer-to-peer mentoring service for students studying with our seven partner institutions, in particular mature students, Black, Asian or ethnic minority students, or those studying creative subjects. We will match you with someone on our trained team of Mentors, from across our partners, who has been on a similar life journey, or faced similar challenges, and can help you to be at your best while studying.
