Cost of Living Crisis

Here at the Students Union, we are aware of the current Cost of Living crisis and how this will impact our students.

We put a plan together to support or students during 2023/2024. This plan included:

• Cost-of-Living Breakfast each week during term time on Singleton and Bay campuses
• Food Bank initiative to support students struggling with the rising cost of food
• Sports Hardship Fund to ensure finance isn't a barrier for students to participate in sports
• Societies Hardship Fund to ensure all students can access our societies
• Funding for our Study Aid campaign to help students through assessment periods
• Period Poverty support for our students experiencing menstruation

What we do

We are committed to improving our students' lives throughout the academic year and believe that our students should have a positive university experience despite the Cost of Living crisis.

During term time, we run a Cost of Living Breakfast on the Singleton and Bay campuses - Tuesdays 9:30am JCs, Singleton Campus & Thursdays 9:30am Y Twyni, Bay Campus.
