All of Us
The student community for estranged and care experienced people studying in Higher Education across the UK. Find friends who get it, a safe place to hang and allies to organise with. Supported by the Unite Foundation.
Latest News
At All of Us our social media and newsletter are all student-led, but we also wanted to offer our community the opportunity to write blogs about topics that interest them and that would be of interest to other care experienced and estranged students across the UK. If you want to write a paid article, find out more here.
Meetups & Events
All of Us is about connection: in person and online. You can find a list of upcoming activities below and you are welcome so check it out and sign up. We also share wider local and UK events all the time on our social media. Below is on our Eventbrite page so be sure to give that a follow so you always know what’s up next. Everything we run is exclusively for care experienced or estranged University/Higher Education students.
If there’s a gap here that you want us to fill we can help! Do you want a 5-aside footie in Fife, a chill coffee catch-up in Coleraine, crazy golf in Cardiff, or a casual treasure hunt in Hull? A movie night online? Check out our Funding for Fun guide to get started. If you get stuck at all or simply want to talk an idea out instead, please email Ira.
If you are looking for the travel reimbursement form please see here.
