Please take this quick survey on your lockdown study+caring experience for us to better help each other!
We welcome all student parents and carers to this society, formed in November 2020, with an aim to bring the community of students with caring responsibilities (SCR) together. It is a safe and supportive space to discuss common concerns and share valuable information on matters that concern this community. We organize social gatherings, interesting events and useful webinars (check out the Events tag above) on topics such as student-life as a carer, parenting, childcare, financial and time management.
Our committee:
President/SU Officer for SCR: Ahsana Parammal Vatteri
Treasurer: Sharon Vince
Welfare Officer: Maryam Bandukda
Activities Officer: Louise Saukila
We organize virtual informal gatherings every month throughout this Pandemic, and we look forward to meeting you at in-person events when the situations permit. Check out our Facebook group and this space for updates on upcoming events. In addition to organizing interesting events, we also work towards improving student-life at UCL as a carer, by campaigning for an inclusive policy and better childcare facilities. The society has become an active space of interaction through social media platform to bring up issues addressed by students in this difficult circumstances brought by Covid-19. Check these useful links for specific Covid-19 advice from UCL and the SU Officer.
We look forward to welcoming you to this society. If you are a parent or carer pursuing a Programme at UCL, do join the Society to stay connected and updated!
