The Trustees of The TUUT Charitable Trust approved a £50,000 donation for The Mental Health Foundation for their UOK? Project. The project trains Peer Educators (aged 19-22) to provide preventative mental health support to students, going from college or sixth form to university through informative mental health and wellbeing workshops.
Student mental health and anxiety is a significant problem across the UK. Increased workload, living independently away from existing support networks, managing their own money, making new friends, figuring out who they are, lots of change at one time which can be overwhelming.
