As the winter chill settles over London, students at King’s College London are faced with a unique opportunity to create lasting memories during the holiday season. For those staying in the city over winter break, the Wellbeing team is hosting an engaging event called Winter Buddies on December 16th from noon until 3:30 PM at the Franklin-Wilkin Building Canteen on Waterloo Campus.
Imagine stepping into a warm and inviting space filled with laughter, creativity, and delicious festive food. The Winter Buddies event promises just that—a chance to connect with fellow students who may also be feeling a bit isolated during this time of year. It’s not uncommon for students to find themselves alone when their peers head home for the holidays; however, this gathering aims to bridge that gap.
Activities will range from games and crafts designed to spark joy and camaraderie among attendees. Whether you’re looking to unleash your inner artist or simply enjoy some light-hearted fun, there’s something here for everyone. And let’s not forget about the free festive lunch—because what better way to bond than over good food?
Previous participants have shared heartwarming testimonials about their experiences:
- "Being in London on my own over Christmas was horrible; thank you so much for getting me out of my dorm and helping me meet new people!"
- "I was scared to come to this but I’m really glad I did; I made new friends and had a great time!"
These reflections highlight how important it is for students facing similar situations—feeling lonely or apprehensive—to take that leap of faith.
With only 150 spots available, signing up early is crucial if you want to secure your place at this delightful event. Completing the Winter Buddies form is all it takes!
