THE PROGRAMME 2019
Where did the year go? We feel like we blinked and it’s summer. Towards the end of the year it’s easy to feel like you’re too busy or it’s too late to start something new, but we think it’s important to round the year off nicely. Whether you’ve finished coursework or you’re knee deep in exam revision, you can’t forget to make time for yourself. From music gigs to joining a society, mindfulness sessions to our sun trap courtyard we’re here to help you wind down, refuel and relax. It’s been a pleasure.
