Belong at Birmingham Ambassadors

In response to the Unite Living Black report, which highlighted significant challenges faced by Black students in UK accommodation and university life, Student Living has launched the Belong at Birmingham initiative.

To directly address the report's findings, we put together a team of paid student ambassadors to work with Student Living. Together, we have worked to put together a Black Students' Guide to Birmingham,

This guide, developed through student-led focus groups, will provide practical resources and support to ensure Black students feel a strong sense of belonging at the University of Birmingham.

Here is the full list of ambassadors:
