Together, let us be the catalysts for change, the champions of hope, and the architects of a brighter tomorrow.

With gratitude and determination,

Rees Campbell

Assistant Director

Having first hand experience in the care system and a strong desire to pursue higher education, my engagement with First Star fills me with a deep sense of purpose. I empathize with the hurdles that those in care encounter when striving for academic advancement, often lacking the support and mentorship needed to navigate this journey

Andy Hall

Director at First Star 2U

Over the years, my work in education has primarily focused on attainment and attendance, but more recently I have taken on the responsibility of overseeing the LAC (Looked After Children) provision at a large secondary school.

Through this role, I have gained valuable experience in understanding the unique challenges faced by young people in care and the skills required to support them throughout their education.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to pilot scholars on their journey towards a successful future.
