Join firstpoint for a welcoming space to take a break, enjoy a free cuppa, and connect with others in a relaxed, friendly environment.
"Fancy a Cuppa?" is a chance for you to unwind, meet new people, and an opportunity to chat informally with Student Wellbeing Champions for peer-led support and guidance. This is the perfect breather for between classes.
Do I need to book?
No, it’s a casual drop‑in event. Come for five minutes or stay longer.
Is it free?
Yes! All drinks are completely free for students.
Do I have to talk to staff?
Not at all. You’re welcome to sit quietly, bring a friend, or chat if you feel like it.
Can I bring a friend or coursemate?
Absolutely - everyone is welcome.
Can I take my drink away?
We ask that drinks stay within the event space. "Fancy a Cuppa?" is designed as a shared social and wellbeing activity, so we encourage students to relax, take a moment, and be part of the atmosphere rather than treating it as a takeaway service.
Will there be food?
There is usually a selection of biscuits to enjoy alongside your cuppa!
What other activities are available?
Alongside the drinks and biscuits, we often have relaxing colouring sheets, small puzzles, and simple card games like Uno. You’re welcome to join in or enjoy a quiet moment - whatever feels right for you.
Is this a counselling session?
No. It’s a friendly wellbeing‑focused social space, not a clinical appointment. Student Wellbeing Champions are available to signpost to other support services as needed.
