A huge thanks to all contributors and attendees of #CulturalDiversityWeek 2023 🎉 #KingstonUni advocates for intersectionality and community care all year round, not just for one week. But we hope you've learned that to #DoOneThing drives change and makes a difference 💙 😍
As part of #CulturalDiversityWeek, @KingstonUni delivered a KU Community Pop-up Pantry for staff and students to pick up food cupboard essentials in the cost of living crisis. Over 300 people collected items, with leftover items donated to @migadvocservice

Make time for young carers this #YoungCarersActionDay. Sparing 10 minutes to have conversations on the challenges they face can help identify what support is needed. #KingstonUniversity #KUCares
