Student wellbeing at the heart of our business
Being able to reach our full potential in life requires us to feel good in ourselves. How we live our lives – where we call home, what we do, the way we do it and why we do it, has a major impact on how good we feel.

Healthy relationships are the basis of a thriving society and are critical to people's overall health and wellbeing. Going to university is an exciting time, but a challenging one too with new friendships to develop while nurturing existing relationships. Relate is very pleased to be partnering with iQ as they seek to support students as they navigate the complex landscape of relationships.

As a student accommodation business centred around young generations who are just a few years or months away from the start of their careers, we want to exemplify what a diverse, inclusive and fair business looks like.
