This follows on from successful placement schemes over the last three years with the Unite Foundation.
The Unite Foundation is a charity that delivers an accommodation scholarship scheme for care leavers and estranged young people at university.
Glide has worked with the Unite Foundation since 2015, including providing laptops that were given as prizes to students who are being supported by the Unite Foundation.
Rhys Thomas, customer experience director, Glide explained, “Helping the larger community is really important to Glide. We believe that every young person, irrespective of background, deserves equal access to education and the Unite Foundation is an excellent cause. We will continue to offer our unwavering support to the charity and celebrate the great work that it does.”
Helen Arber, head of operations at the Unite Foundation, said, “Glide’s continued support for the Unite Foundation is hugely appreciated; gifts of technology to get young people connected plus annual, paid, summer student internships are particularly valuable for care experienced and estranged students who are putting themselves through university without family support.”
The Unite Foundation works in partnership with 26 universities across England and Scotland and has awarded over 500 scholarships since 2012.
