For those who want to unlock even more, when you register, you will be given an option to buy a VIP ticket, which is just £10 for adults and gives you access to an exciting range of exclusive activities. With a VIP ticket, you can register for as many premium activities as you like – no extra fees, no limits.

UEL’s Year of Health: A commitment to change

We believe that health is a right, not a privilege.

In 2025, we’ve dedicated a Year of Health to innovate health education, advocate for equitable policies, invest in community-focused care and leverage technology to push the boundaries of healthcare innovation.

We’re committed to driving equitable access to healthcare, recognising that true equity doesn’t come from a one-size-fits-all approach. Diverse communities have diverse needs, and effective solutions must reflect that reality.

One of the biggest projects under this initiative is the Stratford Health Campus. This new centre will provide advanced medical facilities, train NHS professionals, and support ground-breaking health research. It will also lay the foundation for a new medical school expected by 2027.
