Imperial celebrates its care-experienced students
Organisations nationwide are taking part in Care Experienced History Month 2026 throughout April to celebrate and raise awareness of care-experienced people. Imperial students who have spent time in the care system (children’s homes, foster care, kinship care, etc.) are an important part of our community, and we are proud of their achievements and contributions. Imperial marks the occasion with the following activities:
Sundays 5 and 19 April | Community Café for Care-experienced and Estranged Students
14:00-17:00, Imperial College Chaplaincy, 15 Prince's Gardens SW7 1NA, Google maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3og4wd43L8NiPLQj6
The Imperial College Student Union Network for Estranged and Care-experienced Students (EaCESN) runs a fortnightly student-led Community Café which welcomes all undergraduate and postgraduate students who identify as care-experienced and/or as estranged from both their parents. There will be free pastries and hot drinks as well a group of care-experienced students who understand what it is like to study with this background.
