Top Tips for Summer
This blog outlines advice on how to survive the summer as an estranged and/or care-experienced student. Including navigating loneliness and otherness, financial hardship and advice + mental health. By Ria, with contributions from the All of Us Community.
Our Identity
Our identity has been created to unite ALL estranged and care experienced students and everyone should feel that they can belong to our community. You might never join the community online, or go to an event or meet up, or get involved in a campaign. That’s ok. Sometimes belonging can just be a feeling.
Whatever belonging looks like to you, we hope that when you see our flag and vibrant visuals out in the wild, you feel seen, supported and part of something bigger (that is growing every day).
Our flag is the symbol that unites us all. It has been co-created with estranged and care experienced students and the colours represent our entire diverse and dynamic community, flanked by the symbol of equality.
Download it, print it, draw it, sew it, knit it, put it on a mug, tee, sweater, bag, make it your profile pic, put it up on your wall or in your window… It’s all yours.
