Welcome Festival - Get Connected! 🎉
This event is your chance to Get Connected with Student Wellbeing and Disability Advice support to help you thrive academically, personally, and socially.
You may have already told us about a disability, mental health condition, or learning difference either directly or through UCAS, or you may be feeling unsure about Welcome Week and starting University life – whatever the reason, you’re invited to GET CONNECTED.
🧭 What’s Happening?
Alongside the main Welcome Festival events on Gun House Green on 20 and 21 September - where you’ll find all Student Support Services and many other university and local organisations - we're also offering a smaller, quieter space hosted by Student Wellbeing and Disability Advice.
This relaxed drop-in from 10am to 3pm is the perfect opportunity to:
- Meet our friendly teams and register for support
- Ask questions in a calm, welcoming environment
- Connect with other new students
- Learn about all the support available to enhance your student experience
🫶 What to Expect:
💬 Info & Advice
🎲 Games and Activities
🙂 Friendly Faces & Helpful Chats
🍪 Free Refreshments
Whether you're looking for advice, community, or just a biscuit and a chat—we’re here to help you settle in. We are excited to welcome you!
Please Note - No booking is required, this is a Drop In event - but if you do want to book using this Eventbrite, you will get email reminders, updates if there are any changes, and it can help us plan for numbers so the biscuits don’t run out!
