Cardiff University (Cardiff STAR)
Cardiff University (Cardiff STAR)
The students of Cardiff University have partnered with organisations such as Space4U and Oasis Cardiff to spread the message of STAR and create a welcoming environment for refugees in the city. We actively engage with refugee learners through English conversation classes and participate in fundraisers to help refugee related charities. If you would be interested in volunteering with Cardiff STAR, you can drop us a message on our Instagram.
Aberystwyth University (Aberystwyth STAR)
Aberystwyth University (Aberystwyth STAR)
We are a relatively new branch, operative since October 2024. We serve the town of Aberystwyth, as well as the county of Ceredigion at large. We are very happy to be part of the team and look forward to contributing however we can!

University of South Wales (USW STAR)
University of South Wales (USW) is a University of Sanctuary Scheme. The scheme aims to inspire and support universities to adopt a culture and practice of welcome within their own institutions, in their wider communities, and across the UK Higher Education sector. Additionally, we would like to introduce you to our new society, STAR, a student-run volunteering group trying to create change and make a difference in communities and universities nationwide. The UK STARs have over 27 years of history. We aim to help refugees and people seeking asylum with a safer environment in their place of study and at home.
