From morning meet-ups to evening get-togethers, explore the latest happenings in the aparto community on our Instagram feed.

We want to take a moment to express our gratitude to our incredible students for donating their unwanted clothes to charity. Thanks to their generosity we were able to raise over £20,223 in 2024 for the British Heart Foundation!❤️

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the kindness and support of our aparto residents. You’ve truly done something special and we couldn’t be more proud of this collective effort.🏡

Congratulations to all involved and thank you for making a real difference to the life of others!🙏
