Student Opportunities

We have events running throughout the year for all care experienced learners. You may be studying at college or university, or starting a new course in a few months. Even if you’re just thinking about studying, all are welcome!

We Care Fest

We Care Fest is for all care experienced students at our partner colleges and universities*, and Hub for Success Associates. These events are an informal opportunity for you to socialise with other students and partnership staff.

There are no expectations of attendees to share personal stories of care or why you are there, just come along for some food, meet new folk, and have a chat.

If you are caring for anyone like a child, bring them along too. We can also assist with transport to and from the event for anyone who needs, and we’re more than happy to meet you before the day for a chat, or on the day to walk in together. Let us know via the sign up forms.
