Bridging the Gap - Addysg
Beth rydym ni'n ei wneud
Bridging the Gap is a sanctuary-led, community-based organisation challenging structural barriers to higher education for sanctuary seekers.
Through two programmes, Ready Access and Reconnecting with Academic Research (RWAR), we provide a clear pathway from undergraduate entry to postgraduate research and career progression.
Our model combines accurate information, structured skills development, and relational mentoring, delivered through programmes, drop-in support, and a developing One-Stop Education Hub. We support learners at key transition points, from applications and enrolment to research engagement and professional advancement.
Our evidence shows that with clear guidance and sustained support, sanctuary seekers progress with confidence comparable to other widening-participation learners.
Alongside individual outcomes, we contribute to system-level change through policy engagement, institutional partnerships, and sector roundtables across Wales.
