We Care Stories

The We Care Team have helped me more than pretty much anyone in my whole life.

They supported me like the family I have never had, but always wanted.

One of the main reasons I chose Sunderland was the support from the We Care team.

The We Care team has always been there for me when I felt alone.

If it wasn’t for the We Care Team at the University, I would have quit.

Care leavers can access opportunities and feel comfortable, stable and supported.

The support I’ve received has ranged from financial support to encouragement to one-to-one support.

Had the We Care support not been available, I wouldn't have been able to complete my PGCE.

I decided to come to Sunderland as I wanted to expand my available possibilities for the future.

The support from the University has been central to me making it through the last year.
