How will you be able to find us during Freshers? Or is it Freshers'? Apostrophes are very last year at our hip and with-the-times publication. If only there were some handily organised timetable letting you know exactly when and where we were...

Check back for more about the section intros over the next couple days 🗞️✊

How will you know if you don't Give It a Go™ (not a real trademark)? If you're interested in writing for this esteemed — yes it is, now stop asking — publication, then do please say hello over Freshers Week.

Devoted readers of these captions will know Redbrick has produced a fun-sized MINI PRINT, which you can read if you come and find us on Wednesday the 24th. There might be tote bags, and maybe also an opportunity to contribute to our first BIG PRINT (or PRINT to its friends) of the year...

The people who run Redbrick, contrary to popular belief, are real, and you can meet them during fresher's week! If you're new — to UoB, to this paper, to human social interaction — then we'd love to see you in the Guild on Thursday the 25th.

Redbrick is in crisis.

After nearly 90 years as the University of Birmingham’s student voice, we’re facing the very real possibility that we won’t survive into the next academic year.

Redbrick has been more than just a paper—it’s been a launchpad for aspiring journalists, a space for bold ideas, and a home for student voices. But right now, we’re struggling to make it through the summer.

We’ve created a JustGiving page to raise emergency funds.
If you’ve ever read an article, written a story, or believed in the power of student journalism—please help us stay alive.

If you can donate, we’re so grateful. If not, sharing this post means the world.

Let’s not let Redbrick’s story end here. 🧱❤️

Redbrick, the University of Birmingham’s student newspaper since 1936, urgently needs your support.
