Helena Kennedy Foundation

"The Foundation exists to overcome social injustice by providing financial bursaries, mentoring and support to disadvantaged students from the further and adult education sectors, enabling them to complete their studies in higher education and move on successfully into employment." The Helena Kennedy Foundation was set up by Dr Ann Limb in 1998 to take forward in a practical way the recommendations of Learning Works, the seminal report by Baroness Helena Kennedy QC - President of the Foundation - which drew attention to the needs of adult learners nationally.
