ResLife ReHome

ResLife ReHome is Newcastle University’s student-to-student donation initiative that helps reduce waste, support sustainability, and ease the cost of living for new students moving into accommodation.

Welcome to Newcastle. This year, ResLife has introduced a new initiative called ReHome to help support incoming students as they settle into university life.

The project collects clean, useful items donated by students who lived in our accommodation last year. These include everyday essentials like hangers, laundry baskets and kitchenware. Now, they are available for you to collect free of charge.

ResLife ReHome is part of our commitment to sustainability and student wellbeing, helping you feel supported from the moment you arrive.
