New College Welfare

12/01/2021

Hi everyone!

I know Hilary isn't going ahead exactly as we'd hoped but we'd really love to know what you think we can do to help you out this term. Coffee mornings? Zoom ideas? Peer support availability? We'd love to have your input so we can help you feel as supported as possible during the upcoming term. Message this page (or Mila and Matt) with any thoughts you might have and we'll get some ideas together. In the meantime, the peer supporters are always here and the google doc has plenty of online resources as well. Stay safe! Lots of welfare love,

Mila and Matt ###xx

Standard package: paracetamol or ibuprofen, hot chocolate sachets, night-time tea, sweets, strepsils, vitamin d supplements, cold and flu sachets and aromatherapy inhaler tubes.
