We stand in solidarity with our students and their families.
We wanted to share a message of solidarity with our students and their families, who are being impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We hope and pray for peace around the world and for those suffering the consequences of war.
As an organisation that works to bring people together and work collaboratively to create positive change, we absolutely condemn this act of aggression and violence. We know this is never the answer.
As a Students' Union, our priority will always be ensuring the safety of our student community.
As your Elected Officers, we want to assure you that we’re working with the University to make sure that we are supporting students affected by the terrible events happening in Ukraine.
We will continue to be here and listen to our student members. We know the situation in Ukraine is constantly changing, therefore we will keep listening to the changing needs of our students. If you need us, we’re here for you.
The National Union of Students (NUS) have also released a statement of solidarity which you can read in full here.
If you need support, here’s a reminder of all the support services available to you:
