Q-con charity 2026
Every year, Q-con selects one charity to be especially highlighted and supported. This year, we are happy to announce that the QUB Nightline society has been selected!
Nightline is a listening and information service for students, fully run by students. University can be hard, and the QUB branch of Nightline offers a safe space to talk for all Queen’s students that need it. At Q-con, we are glad to support this important work.
