Who Are We?
The purpose of this society is to have regular social meetings for students with disabilities, neurodiversities, and/or long-term health conditions to improve mental health, make friends, and find a community to support us throughout our studies. We will also have other social events such as craft nights, shopping trips, nature walks, etc. All events aim to be acessible, and if you do have any questions or suggestions regarding accesability please feel free to reach out via email.
If you would like someone to accompany you to a specific event or appointment to provide you with support, or if you simply don't want to go alone somewhere, you can post a message in the 'Help Requests' channel of our Discord server describing the situation, and someone else from the society can volunteer to go with you. If you would like a committee member to acompany you rather than a member of the society, please specify this in your message.
We also aim to provide support to members of our group when raising concerns to the university over acessability issues they have experienced. Please reach out via email if you would like support.
No diagnosis is needed for access to our events. If you are displaying any Covid symptoms, please do not attend our events as we have many immunocompromised members.
