What is Aimhigher?
Aimhigher is the Government’s initiative to widen participation in higher education in England through activities that raise the aspirations of young people.

So this website?
This website has information about Aimhigher in Greater Manchester, our partners and our activities plus resources, reports, statistics and links for anybody who is interested in helping our young people to achieve their potential.
