As new partnerships secured by the 2026 team begin to roll out, we’re excited to announce that we will be increasing capacity on Wednesdays and Fridays from 200 to 250 to better meet the demand we have been seeing in recent weeks💓🥳

These days have consistently filled up the fastest, and this change will help more students access support when they need it most🛒

While we understand that other days can also reach capacity quickly, with limited resources, we have to prioritise where demand is highest for now, which is on Wednesdays and Fridays. We will continue to work hard to expand our partnerships to expand the support we can provide for students.❤️‍🔥
