Futures Day

May 8, 2024

Canterbury Christ Church University, Canterbury campus and online

Join us for a 36-hour excitement packed opportunity to donate and be part of fun challenges and events, making a huge difference to our students’ futures.

This year CCCU is going to extraordinary lengths to support our students through the cost-of-living crisis, including running our first ever Futures Day event on 8-9 May!

Our Futures Day website is now live and we’re encouraging everyone from our CCCU community to visit to discover more about what’s happening over the two days.  

Packed full of fun activities, live music, and opportunities to donate, you could find yourself taking part in a scavenger hunt, getting a free massage, escaping reality through VR, picking up a bargain at our craft fair, winning first prize at the Great Christ Church Bake Off, racing the clock in a resuscitation challenge, time travelling out of our climate escape room, or watching your favourite staff member being gunged in the gunge tank!

So come along this May, join us and have fun, as our whole community comes together to support our students.

A highlight of our Futures Day event will be the Gunge Tank Challenge on Thursday 9 May by the pond area on main campus. Who is getting gunged? You decide… donate to see your favourite person get covered in green slime! All donations to the Gunge Tank Challenge will support our Futures Fund, helping students struggling with financial hardship during the cost-of-living crisis.

For more information or to find out how to get involved please email futures@canterbury.ac.uk

Let’s show what we can achieve when our whole community come together to support our students!
