Student Community Wardens

We have four Student Community Wardens who provide student perspectives in key groups such as the Durham University & Residents’ Forum.

They also support students in being positive citizens of Durham, and strengthen relationships between students and other members of the local community.

Hi, my name is Kate, I'm a Master's Law student from St John's College and I've been an SCW since 2021! I love getting stuck in to local issues and hopefully helping to make the transition to living in private accommodation easier for you!
