This is a cozy and chilled event, where you can meet fellow UWE Students, and make your own stuffed monkey friend, from a recycled pair of socks!  

We’re providing the tools, the template, and the stuffing, so all you will need to bring for this session is an old pair of socks. This is a fun and creative session, where you’ll have the opportunity to get crafty, and socialise with new friends! You’ll be looked after by staff from the Representation Team and a student Welcome Rep, so this is also a fantastic opportunity to ask any questions you might have about your Students’ Union. This is a drop-in session, so it’s okay if you can’t stay for the full 2 hours of the event. We predict your monkey will take about an hour to create.  

Where to find us: 

The Hub - Glenside Campus 

This is the large canteen space located in H Block. Inside there is a large seating area, and pods to buy food along one wall. We will be located on one of the shorter walls, closer to the Coffee Pod.  For more information on getting to the session, you can check out the travel information section below. 

You don’t need to sign up, just show up on the day! If you have an old pair of socks you’d like to use, please bring these along, we’d recommend using a pair that are fun and colourful! We’re bringing some recycled socks too, so you can still attend if you forget your own.
