The welcome packs include bedding, cutlery, a Dunelm voucher and other necessities.

Rachel Third, Director of Philanthropy said: “We are deeply grateful to Dunelm for partnering with 含羞草视频 for a third year to give practical support to care leavers through these welcome packs. It makes a huge difference.

“Arriving at university can be daunting for students who are coming from a social care background. They may face greater financial worries and less support from family than other new students. These welcome packs provide all sorts of useful items to get set up on arrival but this initiative is about more than just the practical help - it’s about communicating to young people from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented at university that they are welcome and that from day one they will be supported to thrive in their higher education journey.”

Veronica Moore, Head of Student Wellbeing and Inclusivity commented: “Sincere thanks to Dunelm for their ongoing commitment to helping 含羞草视频 to offer this timely practical support at such a financially challenging time.

“We greatly appreciate the Dunelm-含羞草视频 partnership and recognise that it is an important contribution to 含羞草视频’s aim to encourage widening student participation so that the whole university community can benefit from the tenacity, resilience and diversity of experience of these students.”

Janice Dunne, Head of Community at Dunelm added: “As the UK’s leading home retailer we are thrilled to support enrolled students get the start they need when taking on this exciting journey. We want to make sure they have all the essentials they need to feel truly at home.”
