U.N.C.L.E - Newcastle University Children's Loan Equipment Scheme
The U.N.C.L.E. scheme loans baby equipment to students who have small children. The equipment includes; Stair gates, fireguards, cots, sterilisers, pushchairs, highchairs, baby monitors, strollers and cooker guards.
The charge for this equipment is minimal - £2 per term and £2 summer vacation registration fee; and £1 per item per term/vacation hire. A post dated deposit cheque is also required, which is returned to the student at the end of the loan period, providing the equipment is returned in a satisfactory condition.
The U.N.C.L.E. office is situated in the Student Advice Centre on the 1st floor of the Union Society.
There are 2 afternoon sessions per week on Wednesday (12 noon - 5pm) and Friday (12noon -4pm) although session times and days can vary. To arrange an appointment email: uncle.union@ncl.ac.uk
U.N.C.L.E's Toy Library
The U.N.C.L.E. scheme now includes a Toy Library for preschool children of students at Newcastle University. The U.N.C.L.E. scheme offers packages of toys for different ages and also loans separate larger/more expensive toys for a small fee.
There is a registration fee for the academic year (as above) but if you have already registered with us for the baby equipment there is no need to pay it again.
We also ask for a post dated cheque returnable when the toys are returned to U.N.C.L.E.
