Welcome to Reconnect

Reconnect is a supportive space for parents and carers across Oxford Brookes University.

Our network brings colleagues together to share experiences, exchange practical ideas, learn from one another, and create moments of connection in the middle of busy working and caring lives.

Whether you are caring for children, teenagers, adults, or family members with additional needs, Reconnect offers a place where you can speak openly, learn new strategies, and feel understood by people who know what caregiving really involves.

Our sessions run throughout the year and include themed discussions, “Bring It to the Table” open conversations, practical workshops, wellbeing activities, and creative sessions. Everyone is welcome — whether you want to listen, contribute, or simply feel part of a community.

Meet the Reconnect Leads

Reconnect is supported by colleagues from across Oxford Brookes who help coordinate sessions, resources and community activities.

We work collaboratively to develop the programme, organise sessions and ensure that Reconnect remains a supportive and inclusive space for staff with caring responsibilities.
