Hillingdon Foodbank does vital work in providing short term and emergency food to people living in the borough and experience crisis or difficult times. Each term, we support the foodbank by donating large quantities of non-perishable food items to help those in need.
You’ll see your RA team out in halls collecting donations at the end of each term so make sure to have a look through your cupboards and donate what you can to support the cause.
One of the many events that the RA team arrange and run for Brunel University residents is our movie nights. All students living on campus are invited to join us for a an evening watching one of our favourite films. Previous screenings have included The Breakfast Club and Friday the 13th. We also get into that Christmas spirit every year with a special screening of Elf at the end of term 1.
With exclusive deals on drinks and snacks, make sure to join us for this relaxed social event.
Check back here for updates on our upcoming screenings and follow us on social media to be the first to get notifications on all of our events.
