We’re proud to share that our Accommodation and Halls Life Teams, in conjunction with the LGBTQ+ staff network, have won the Community Impact Award at the Student Accommodation Awards 2025! 🎉

This category recognises initiatives that create meaningful, positive social impact on students and local communities. We won for our Big Queer Bus Tour and LGBTQ+ History campaigns delivered in February!
