A society ran by and for disabled, neurodivergent, and mentally ill students of Coventry University!

We hope to give you a voice during your studies that will help make your academic and social life much more accessible; if you struggle to advocate for yourself, we are here to help because you deserve to be advocated for.

	Name	Student of	My favourite quote is...	I wanted to be a part of this committee because...
President	Lyric (he/him)	Psychology	Fall down seven times, get up eight. — Japanese proverb.	"I want to create a community where disabled people feel heard and wanted and not feel like their disability is something they need to hide or make up for."
Inclusion Ambassador	Max (any pronouns)	Childhood, Youth and Education Studies	Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. — Albert Einstein.	"I want to create a loving community who understand what life is like living with disabilities and help make the university more inclusive and accessible."
Treasurer and Social Media Manager	Lei	Sociology	It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. — Shuhada' Sadaqat, P.K.A. Sinéad O'Connor.	"Disabled spaces throughout my life have provided me genuine, non-judgemental community with people I share realities with; helping create one for others means a lot to me as a result."

We aim to:

Increase awareness and inclusivity within Coventry;
provide a supportive, inclusive space for all students;
provide a guide for support services at the university to make it more accessible for students; and,
provide low-expectation opportunities for socialising with online meets.

Links and contacts for disability support:

For more support, the university has a Disabled Student's Community ran by one of our members! More information can be found here.
If you are having trouble with your Disabled Student's Allowance, Disability Rights UK have a helpline that can be found here which can help! It is currently closed for maintenance; this page will be updated once it back up and running.
If you would like accomodation support and adjustments due to disability, get in touch with welfare.ss@coventry.ac.uk via email as soon as possible; a professional diagnosis is not required, though it definitely helps the process move along.
