Activity details
This lower energy welcome session is for students in SCC who feel they can benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere with soft music, quiet chat and comfortable silence, with activities such as colouring and puzzles. If you feel like socialising, you might meet other likeminded people, but you can also find out - from friendly and supportive academics and wellbeing professionals - how to access help and support at City if you are neurodiverse, have any mental health challenges, or have a disability: there is no pressure to network or ask questions unless you want to.
We look forward to meeting you and understanding how we can best support you during your time at SCC.
Feel free to drop in at any time during the session and leave whenever you are ready. Please sign up using the link as spaces are limited.
Booking is essential for this event due to room capacity, so please sign up using the link provided.

Activity details
🍕🍕🍕 Crafts and Crusts does what it says on the tin: create something to treasure and eat free pizza!
Led by students on our EDI Committee, Crafts & Crusts is a great way to meet new people and get in touch with your crafty side. We decorate tote bags, make jewellery and play great tunes (at a low level). If you’d love to socialise at uni, but worry about feeling awkward, this is a great way to meet people without too much pressure.
