Welcome from Vice-Chair (Group Development):
One of the key features of HELOA is its network of groups, which play a vital role in facilitating collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional development among its members. HELOA groups are regionally based communities that bring together student recruitment, outreach and marketing professionals from universities, colleges, and other educational institutions across the UK. These groups facilitate the exchange of ideas, foster innovation, and contribute to the broader mission of ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their background, have equal access to information and opportunities to make informed choices about Higher Education.
HELOA’s network of regional groups plays a key role in promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional development among student recruitment, outreach, and marketing professionals across the UK. These groups connect staff from universities, colleges, and educational institutions, supporting HELOA’s mission to ensure equal access to higher education information and opportunities.
Through regular meetings, workshops, and training sessions—both online and in person—members can enhance their skills, stay informed about sector developments, and share best practices. This fosters a culture of continuous learning and innovation within the sector.
Each group is led by a volunteer committee that organises events and supports regional activity planning in coordination with the HELOA UK Committee. Members are encouraged to participate actively in meetings and contribute to the group’s work.
To see how HELOA groups are structured, view the Groups Structure Chart. For more information about your local group and its activities, please get in touch.
