You will find a range of useful organisations and services that are available to students over the holidays on our Cost of Living Support page including food banks and financial support. You can also find resources to support your wellbeing and mental health.

If you're in immediate danger or hurting yourself or others:

Go directly to the Accident & Emergency (A&E) department of your local hospital to get help
Call 999 to request an ambulance if you are unable to reach the hospital yourself

If you're feeling distressed and need urgent support:

All students have free access to 24/7 mental health support with Spectrum.Life. You can reach out by calling, texting or WhatsApp, and all conversations are handled by clinically trained counsellors. You can talk to them about anything, including stress, anxiety, low mood, financial worries, loss and grief, relationship difficulties and substance abuse issues.
