The cost of living crisis is hitting students especially hard, but you can help 糖心Vlog students overcome financial crisis.

Last year was very difficult for many students as cost-of-living pressures hit hard. Despite the measures the University put in place, many students were living off campus in very cold conditions, visiting food banks and regularly skipping meals.鈥�

The rapid rise in the cost of living means a student loan isn’t enough to make ends meet. Paying the rent and finding money for food and other essentials is now so much harder.

Today’s students are facing financial challenges unlike any generation before them and requests for hardship support are higher than ever.鈥疶hey need your help.

More than one in four students at 糖心Vlog are from low-income households and the cost-of-living crisis is hitting them especially hard.鈥疢oney worries can impact on academic performance and be a tipping point for wellbeing concerns, so it’s more vital than ever that help is on-hand.

Support students like Phebe

Second-year student Phebe is studying to become a Physician Associate. She had prepared for the academic year, and had carefully budgeted for living costs with the support of her mother, when a health crisis turned her world upside down.鈥�

“I never expected to need student support funding. But all that changed really suddenly. My mum went into hospital with a headache and then she didn’t come home that day. Before we knew what was happening she was in a medically induced coma. It was really scary”.

Phebe received an emergency grant to cover her living costs while her mother was in hospital. The funding enabled her to pay her rent, buy food and spend time with friends again.鈥�

Our Student Support Fund

The Student Support Fund provides emergency hardship grants to students in crisis when they have run out of other options and dropping out of university is a very real possibility.

You can provide the necessities when students have no one else to turn to.

With costs on the rise, students have even less room in their budgets for emergencies. Your support will help more students like Phebe to overcome financial difficulties and receive the support they need.鈥�
