Hey!
I'm Natalie the Events Manager here at Northumbria Uni & im responsible for the incredible programme that is Be Part of It. I'm biased as i created the programme, but it really is the most fantastic way to get the most out of your time here at Northumbria.
BPOI gives you the opportunity to try loads of really fun activities at a heavily discounted price. We provide everything and I mean everything. Left your horse at home and joining us for horse riding lessons? Don't worry we provide the horse and your helmet!
Its so hard to pick my fav BPOI event as we have so much choice. Im a massive foodie so you will always see me at pizza, pasta and chocolate making. Hot Pod Yoga is my ultimate recommendation if you are looking for a destress and a good stretch out after a busy week at Uni.
Hey, I’m Amber!
I love trying new things (especially food!) and meeting new people - that’s why I love events so much!
I have previously worked in a sixth form college and know how important it is for students to feel part of a community while studying. That’s why I love encouraging students to #bepartofit.
I moved to France when I was in school and I know how daunting it may seem to settle in a new town/country so if anyone is needing any tips, my first would be to come along to an event that interests you! We have so many to choose from!
In the meantime, I look forward to planning & attending lots of fun events with you all, please say hi!
Hi, I'm Kaitlyn and I'm on the Be Part of It Team! I love Be Part of It because it is a great opportunity for students to have fun, make friends and take part in unforgettable experiences. We give people the opportunity to participate in a huge range of things in the local area and further, with an amazing group of like-minded students. My favourite event is pizza making! At Uni, I study Business and Marketing and in my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends travelling and relaxing at the local beaches and parks.
Hey there, I'm Lucas and I'm an activities assistant with the Be Part Of It programme here at ϲ. I'm in my 2nd year studying Games Computing. I'm very interested in all different types of games, whether that be videogames, sports, party games and much more.
I really enjoy being around people and having fun doing stuff that maybe I wouldn't usually try. I went on a large number of activities in my first year with Be Part Of It which I really enjoyed and it made me want to become part of the team to help give other students those same experiences. Out of the activities I have done in the past, the best picks for me were Bubble Football, Go Karting and the Flamingo Land trip. However, there were many more that were great too like the Escape Rooms and Go Ape.
Be Part Of It is a great programme because not only are you doing these activities, but you are getting them at a more than affordable price, especially on a student's budget, and you are doing these activities with people you might have never met before which makes it a great way to meet people and make new friends. I hope to meet you all on some events in the future!
HI! I'm Faine and I'm in my 2nd year at Northumbria studying Law and I also work as an activities assistant for Be Part Of It!
Some of the activities I have tried are the LUSH workshops, Pasta Making and Hot Pod Yoga which is a perfect way to unwind from uni. But my favourite events so far have been Go Ape, Cupcake Decorating and Battlekarts.
I love joining events and I am always up for trying new activities and meeting new people so Be Part Of It is perfect for this! I moved to Newcastle for university so I know how hard it can be finding your feet and making friends in a new city but Be Part Of It is a great way to settle in and explore everything Newcastle has to offer! I can't wait to meet you all on our events!
Hi, I'm David and I am an activities assistant with Be Part of It, I'm a mature student in my first year of a Guidance and Counselling degree.
I have been on all manner of activities in my first year and especially enjoy craft and food activities, in particular the Big River Bakery and pottery throwing. To be honest, I will try my hand at anything, the best part of the experiences for me is meeting different types of people from all over the world with different aspirations, pursuing different subjects and end goals.
I love music and enjoy playing card and board games as well as tabletop strategy games and gaming on my laptop. Be Part of It is a brilliant way of exploring new interests, activities and places on a budget with like-minded students from all manner of courses.
I’m Holly and I am an activities assistant on the Be Part of It team.I am currently in my second year of university studying business management.
I love being at university because it gives me the opportunity to meet new people and experience different things. In my first year I really enjoyed going on my own to activities and speaking to new people, making friends and having a giggle with then. Some of my favourite activities that I am always speaking about include Glow Kayaking on the Tyne, Chocolate making and Reformer Pilates.
It would be great to see you on some events and I can’t wait to meet you all.

This is why I joined the Be Part of It team—it aligns with my core values.It offers a positive environment and a fantastic way to build meaningful connections with other students.
My favourite activities are riot boxing and hot pod yoga; they are great ways to unwind after a busy week of studying. I can't wait to meet all of you and create wonderful memories during our time at university!
