Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page and donating to my chosen charity: IntoUniversity.

For those of you who know my work on the Imposter Phenomenon, you will realise that an education is important for everyone - but not all of us realise that when we are younger. I didn't believe I was university material in my teens, and it wasn't until I was in my forties that I went to university to study for a masters degree. This led to a PhD and my book, The Imposter Phenomenon, published just before I turned 60!

So I have chosen to support a charity which helps disadvantaged young people believe in themselves...

IntoUniversity supports young people with their education, particularly focussing on those who come from disadvantaged neighbourhoods to attain their aspirations, including further and higher education, employment and work-based training.

IntoUniversity students achieve more highly at school, progress to Higher Education at increased rates, and are less likely to drop out when there. You can read their impact report here.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
