Find Your KIN. Find Your People.
Work With Us
University can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re the first, the only, or one of a few. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
It’s not just about lectures and deadlines, it’s about finding your voice, your people, and your path. When no one else in the room looks like you or shares your story, it can be hard to feel like you belong.
You may be carrying more than just academic pressure, maybe it’s imposter syndrome, family expectations, or the weight of being “the one who made it.”
That’s where we come in.
With KINSIS, you’ll find:
Peer-led communities who get it
Mentors and guides who’ve walked similar paths
A UK-wide network of support, rooted in shared experience and connection
Opportunities to grow, lead, and thrive, in and beyond university

Testimonials
This is more than a society
“You just get so much more than you could have imagined”
I honestly don't know how to thank you all enough
“I wasn’t sure if I was going to come back to uni or if I could, but your support through this process has made things so much easier for me. Even my mum thanks you!”
Every time they had an amazing event
“Every time they had an event, I felt seen in ways I didn’t feel before and left feeling better than when I arrived.”
I can’t praise what you’ve done for them enough.
I can identify a marked difference in our students’ outcomes before they went on your programme and since they’ve come back. The level of confidence is astronomical and they have really put themselves out there. They feel comfortable to ask for help and support others in their journey too. I can’t praise what you’ve done for them enough.
I have been struggling to find support as a neurodiverse student.
As a consequence of my experience, I found myself regarding my university with disdain and even disregard. However, the training clearly highlighted safe spaces within my university that I could have confidence in to share my concerns and struggles without fearing a lack of response on their part. And I know how to collect and communicate my evidence in a time-sensitive manner.
I found my first full-time job immediately after graduating!
If it weren’t for KINSIS, I wouldn’t have found a full-time job immediately after graduating. KINSIS shared the opportunity with us, and I remember asking one of the team if I should go for it, and I’m so glad I eventually did! I’ve been with [the company] since then and have grown so much.
