As part of your rent, you've already paid your 'Communities Contribution' - this funds the fabulous Communities programme, so make sure you get involved in all the the great stuff on offer!



A programme of regular activities happens right in your community, including weekly film nights, board games and cake evenings and free activity sessions offering anything from dance and craft, to pampering and topical talks.
We also run trips like ice skating and quasar, Peak District walks and Alton Towers outings.
For upcoming Communities activities look out for the weekly 'What's On' emails sent to your University account, or view our activities calendar.
