HEY Children's University

A charity for the children of Hull & East Yorkshire who need us the most. Creating unique learning experiences, raising aspirations & igniting dreams.

We give children the chance to dream! 1 in 3 children in Hull grows up living in poverty and many of those children will rarely venture much further then the end of their street. Some of these children even say that they have never had a dream. We aim to show children “what’s out there”, raise aspirations and create dreams for the future with our experiences. Please help us to change lives!
