SANDS: Society for Neurodivergent and Disabled Students

Hello and welcome to the 'Society for Neurodivergent and Disabled Students!'

As a society, we want to create a community where students can meet others and share their stories. We want to continue raising awareness about disabilities and neurodivergence, and the impact they have on students. And we want to make sure students feel seen, heard, and supported.

As well as having an online presence, we will host events regularly throughout the year. Each event will give you the opportunity to get to know other students and have some well deserved fun. Some people can find the idea of joining a society very overwhelming, which is why our events will always be activity-focused. Don't worry, we won't just get you all into a room and tell you to make friends! 

Although we are called 'Society for Neurodivergent and Disabled Students', we will never ask you to disclose your diagnosis to us. If you don't have any formal diagnosis, but like the sound of our events and how we run them, then please feel free to join. 

We will often refer to ourselves as 'SANDS' instead of 'Society for Neurodivergent and Disabled Students​'.

Sound good? Email us at sands@qmsu.org to join our small and friendly community, and you can buy a membership on the right-hand bar.

We already have lots of event ideas to help students meet and support each other but we want to hear what type of events you would like to see us run, please let us know on our WhatsApp group which you can join by emailing us!
