Pause@Uni
Pause@Uni will come to an end on 31 August 2026.
From September 2026, a new and improved drop-in wellbeing service will be introduced, building on the support already available to students. More details about what this will look like, and how you can get involved, will be shared in the coming weeks.
There will also be some improvements taking place at The Wellbeing Lodge during August, so the space can continue to be comfortable and supportive.
While this work is happening, all Pause@Uni drop-ins will take place in the Library Lounge throughout August, every Tuesday and Wednesday, 11:00–17:00.
Please check opening times before heading to any of these services, as availability may vary over the summer. Keep an eye out for further updates, including more information about the new wellbeing drop-in service launching in September.
