Hey 👋🏼, we are Salford GRACE. A new and upcoming society that is centered around growing resilience and awareness for care experienced/estranged students. We are a group that collectively understands that at university it can be a struggle to make new friends, as well as setting intentional time to socialize is hard with the craziness of starting/ returning to universities and schedules, even more so for care experience/estranged students, and that is how we now have Salford GRACE 🙂 so you can fast track the hassle!
At Salford GRACE we strive to create a unique community that weekly brings together students from all different backgrounds at our socials/events alongside the chance of networking to better the opportunities for you guys! We also work very closely with the university so we can point you in the right direction if you need any help with anything to do with careers/wellbeing. If you are a care experienced/estranged we understand that family is not always a positive experience and each person is different and will have a different story and that’s ok!! But if you allow us, we would like to help and support you in making your university experience the easiest and most comfortable transition. If you are not care experienced/estranged that's ok too it is not a requirement to be a part of our society. We believe that GRACE no matter who you are will benefit you and there will be something for you to take away so give it a chance!
See our social media/group chats to have a little look, follow, and join. Our meets/socials are normally activity-related and have alternating times/days each week to be able to allow more of a chance for students to come. so quick have a check, see what we are doing this week, and join us 🙂
