With the academic year coming to an end, many of us have big plans for our summer holidays. A popular summer past time for many students is to go travelling. Travelling the world can be a life changing, unforgettable experience – but it also comes with risk. Being aware of the potential dangers while travelling is essential.

Taking every precaution to stay safe will increase the chance of you having a positive experience while travelling. Check out the NHS guidelines on things to consider before you jet off on your travels!

This week is Volunteer Week 2013.

With the end of the exam period in sight, thoughts turn to the summer holidays! Most of us think about holidays abroad, sleeping until midday & generally enjoying some study free time to ourselves! This summer, why not think of volunteering some of your time? Giving some of your free time to volunteer can be very fulfilling & can help you develop key skills.

Niamh (The Northern Ireland Association for Mental Health) is the largest voluntary sector mental health organisation in Northern Ireland. Our vision is simple: mental health and wellbeing for all.

There are plenty of volunteer opportunities with NIAMH - check out this link to find out more...
