The national Cost-of-Living crisis is pushing students to the brink.
The Cost of Living (CoL) crisis is having a huge impact on students. A survey of 3,500 students and apprentices by the National Union of Students (NUS) found that 96% of students are cutting back on spending, and almost a third are left with just £50 a month after paying rent and bills.
Your Sabbatical Officers have made it a key priority this year to help ease the burden of the crisis, by focusing on making basic everyday items free to our students who need them the most. We continue to evaluate and create ways that we can support students during this hard time.
What have we already done? Check out the Cost of Living Campaign Page.
We're committed to continuing to support students during the Cost of Living crisis, we're planning to continue our current work and listen to feedback from students on how we can do more. If you have an idea of how we could work to support students during the Cost of Living crisis, submit it via our ideas platform.
