Wales REACH is a transformative initiative connecting under-served Welsh communities with their rich cultural heritage. Taking place across five distinct, historically underserved communities across Wales, Wales REACH is a locally-led, community-driven programme helping residents explore the incredible stories of their homes, their ancestors and the history of their amazing country.

Raising the voice of people who traditionally have not had a platform to share their perspectives on the story of Wales having been left out of the narrative, the programme promotes wellbeing, enhances cultural accessibility, celebrates creativity, and fosters community cohesion right across contemporary Wales.

Your generous gift will support these local communities to continue the programme of bespoke arts and heritage exploration, reigniting people’s love and understanding of the rich cultural history of ‘Welshness’ on their doorstep.

The Open University has numerous support programs addressing a wide variety of limitations or disadvantages that prospective students might face. For example, we offer financial support for carers, care experienced learners, Black students and disabled veterans and refugees. We also offer the study-related costs fund, which is open to anyone on a low income. Information on all our scholarships and assistance schemes can be found here: http://www.open.ac.uk/courses/fees-and-funding
