Description
Looking to meet like-minded people? You've come to the right place!
These bi-weekly meet-ups provide a friendly, welcoming space for anyone of any age to get together. There are no criteria to attend - whether you're a mature student, parent, carer or just looking to make a new friend, everyone's welcome!
We know that life can get busy when you have other commitments outside of uni, so feel free to drop in for as long or as little as you like. Bring your lunch, bring a friend, or go solo and get to know new students from other courses.
Whatever works best for you, we can guarantee free hot drinks, friendly chats, support info, and a spot on the sofa ready and waiting for you!
We are committed to sustainability so please bring your reusable hot drinks cup, there are no single-use cups available.
