EaCES was founded in 2017 to support care experienced, refugee and estranged students in Further & Higher Education. The organisation is run by students and recent graduates with lived experience and offers peer support and advice to those from a similar background. We openly welcome any care leavers to seek our support if you are looking into education at any level post-16.
EaCES are a national peer-support organisation. We have The EaCES Handbook (UCAS-recognised), as well as our social media, penpal exchange and festive cards scheme. Our mission is to provide a central space that signposts support and guidance that is accessible to our community in all areas of our lives, with a particular focus on supporting access to further and higher education.
