Good unis for care leavers?

I'm wondering what universites are good for people who are leaving care and have extra support? Like accommodation you can stay in all year and extra financial and pastoral support

You should be able to get a support plan at most universities, which should include financial support for things like a new laptop and transport. I'm not sure about the accommodation however??
Royal Holloway offer a care leavers bursary of £5000 per year for students from England.

The accommodation contracts are usually for 30 or 38 weeks, but you may be able to make arrangements with the accommodation office for the holidays.
