LUSUMA Welfare
Coffee and Cake
LUSUMA's Welfare Department is here to help and support you throughout your studies.
You are never alone if you have a problem at university, a surprising number of people will have gone through something similar. Please don't feel embarrassed about talking to a friend or one of the welfare team - we may know just how to help. If you like, we can also put you in touch with other people who have come to us with similar issues so you can help each other work through it. This idea is supported by our monthly Coffee and Cake events, which encourage people to share whatever they might want to in a group setting.
We have recently merged with the Medics’ Welfare Society (a LUSUMA sub-society) to use our combined resources to help more people. There is a list of the people that make up the team lower down the page. We're all very friendly so feel free to come to any of us for a chat if you see us out and about. If you'd like to speak to one of us individually, then feel free to use our emails beneath our pictures.
Of course we hope you feel fantastic and never have to use any of our services, but if you do then anything you do say to us will be kept confidential.
Your LUSUMA Welfare Officer, Andy, is your first port of call for anything you feel you need to talk about. He can put you in touch with other university or medical school welfare services (some of which are found in the ‘Useful Services and External Links’ section below), or just sit down for a cup of tea. For more information, use the contact form at the bottom of the page or email welfare@lusuma.com
The aim of this website section is to be a resource itself as well as linking to other resources - please see the buttons below for the full scope of the page. Any suggestions for additions or changes are gratefully accepted.

Welfare Pages
Here is a set of rather nice buttons - simply click on them to visit the page they link to.
The section for 'Frequently Asked Questions' is updated periodically as weird and wonderful questions are posed to us, and the other pages are maintained as well as we can with current information. The 'Useful Services & External Links' page is especially good - a big long list of links to welfare-related services and websites, both within the university and outside. It's worth a read for anybody in case you need them in the future.

Hello there!
I’m Andy and I'm in my third year (somehow).
Feel free to come up to me or message me on social media - I’m always up for a natter about pretty much anything and I always make sure to provide a listening ear (or ramble at length if necessary!).
Like it says at the top of the page, I can be your first port of call for any problems. If I can't deal with it, then I can signpost you to the right people to help you. I’ve had a fair bit of experience of various types of problems of my own over the years, and I like to think this means I can relate to a lot of issues that any students bring my way.
One of my techniques is to encourage people to work through problems together - I firmly believe the old saying that "a problem shared is a problem halved". I can either put you in touch with formal services to help you through your difficulties, or simply start contact between people I know have had similar issues (with both sides' consent of course) so that they can help and support each other. I think that a closer-knit, more open community helps everyone to face their problems better.
