According to Young Minds, 52 per cent of 17–25-year-olds reported that negative emotions affected their enjoyment of life. This is why student safety and wellbeing are fundamental for accommodation providers and must be treated as a top priority within the sector.
Fresh, for example, has implemented a ‘Be Wellbeing Programme’ which provides a wide range of events each week and has support on hand, so residents feel welcome and connected. Each month focuses on a central theme with events and initiatives centred around giving back to the community, being more sustainable and improving resident wellbeing. All properties get involved but can tailor their events and social media to the needs and likes of the residents within their building.
With residents from over 112 different countries the programme is extremely diverse with cultural and religious events to suit everyone including events for Lunar New Year, Holi Bhai Dooj, Eid, Ramadan, and Hanukkah. At selected sites, Fresh has employed Mandarin speakers to support Chinese students as well as launching WeChat. These initiatives are supported further by increasing accessibility to information.
