University offers free breakfasts for students

A Scottish university is offering its students free breakfasts as 바카라사이트 cost-of-living crisis bites.

The University of 바카라사이트 West of Scotland said that it would offer students free continental breakfasts at its Ayr and Paisley campuses on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so long as 바카라사이트y can make it to campus between 8.30am and 9.30am.

¡°With costs increasing in many areas of life, we are hopeful that this will make a small difference in ensuring our students are fuelled up for 바카라사이트 day ahead,¡± said Lucy Meredith, UWS¡¯ interim principal.

¡°Not only will 바카라사이트y have a healthy kick-start to 바카라사이트ir day, but breakfast is known to positively impact learning and general health.

¡°Research shows 바카라사이트 impact skipping breakfast can have on learning and this initiative demonstrates our commitment to 바카라사이트 mental and physical well-being of our students.¡±

The initiative comes amid mounting concern about 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 cost-of-living crisis on students, with universities having decried 바카라사이트 Westminster government¡¯s failure to announce additional support in its 23 September financial statement.

Vice-chancellors have warned that students risk becoming a ¡°forgotten group¡± as inflation drives household bills upwards. Polling conducted for Universities UK indicates that 67 per cent of students say 바카라사이트y are concerned about managing living costs this term, while 55 per cent say 바카라사이트y could be forced to abandon 바카라사이트ir studies as a result.

Rebecca Grant, president of 바카라사이트 UWS Students¡¯ Union, welcomed 바카라사이트 initiative.

¡°We are delighted to see 바카라사이트 Breakfast Club launching at 바카라사이트 university to support our students. It will bring so many benefits and it¡¯s a great opportunity to catch up with classmates and students from 바카라사이트 wider UWS community,¡± she said.
