Safety That Supports Every Part of Student Life
Are you ready to take charge of your safety and wellbeing this year? On Monday, 6th October, every student is invited to the University of Worcester’s annual Safety Fair—your chance to connect with local organisations and University services dedicated to helping you stay safe, healthy, and thriving at uni.
Why Holistic Safety Matters
Safety isn’t just about physical wellbeing. True safety means feeling secure and confident in every part of your university life—your relationships, your home, your finances, and your access to support and resources. We believe that a holistic approach is essential. This year’s Safety Fair highlights not only physical safety, emergency services, and crime prevention, but also emotional security in relationships, access to stable and comfortable housing, financial wellbeing, and all the elements that keep you steady and empowered. Real safety is about having what you need to thrive, not just survive.
Event Details
- Location: The Hangar, Students’ Union, St John’s Campus
- Date: Monday, 6th October 2025
- Time: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm (Drop in any time, no appointment needed)
Who Will Be There?
We’re excited to welcome 20 fantastic organisations, including local police, emergency services, mental health and housing support, financial advisors, relationship specialists and more. Each stand is here to answer your questions, point you toward resources, and provide practical advice you can take away.
Fancy a Quieter Moment?
Upstairs in the bar area, our Student Wellbeing Champions will be running “Fancy a Cuppa?”, a relaxed space where you can enjoy a hot drink, have a chat, and take a moment to reflect on your wellbeing and safety. They’ll be joined by friendly Pets As Therapy dogs on hand to offer comfort and support for a calm, welcoming environment.
How Does It Work?
Just show up! Staff will be on hand all day to welcome you, signpost services, and make sure you get the support you need—from practical tips to one-to-one conversations. You’ll find loads of useful information, friendly faces, fun activities, and plenty of free resources. Grab a coffee, explore the stalls, and chat with the experts in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Safety at university is about so much more than locks and alarms. It’s about building a foundation for your learning, wellbeing, and growth. Don’t miss your opportunity to discover support, advice, and friendships that will help make your time at Worcester truly safe and rewarding.
See you at The Hangar on 6th October!
