Friends of Corpus is a scheme set up for parents, family and friends of current Corpus students.  It is designed to provide the opportunity for these supporters to be involved with the College, whilst still allowing students the space to grow and develop independently. 

Members of the programme will receive regular newsletters and emails to keep them in touch with College news and developments. They will also be invited to our annual ‘Friends’ lunch in Hall at the beginning of Lent term, as well as receiving information on how take part in our ‘Sweet Treats’ initiative and ‘Buy-the-Book’ campaign.
