Our Muslim Students Are Struggling.

Here’s what’s happening on our doorstep:

⚠️ 46% of the Muslim population live in the bottom 10% of local authority areas (Social Mobility Commission, 2017)

⚠️ Figures suggest that 50% of UK Muslims are already living in poverty (Muslim Council of Britain) and are being hit even harder by the growing cost of living crisis.

⚠️ Muslim students are the least likely to graduate with a First or 2:1 degree (Stevenson, 2018)
