KK Charity Update

Mind was nominated as the KK Community Charity this year.  This March, they are running 27 miles in 27 days, in solidarity of the 27% of students who report a mental health problem whilst at university. More students are experiencing mental health problems than ever before. The number of students reporting a mental health problem is five times greater today than it was ten years ago, while the number of students dropping out because of mental health problems has trebled.

Everyone taking part in the 27 27 challenge is sending a clear message: its time to take our mental health seriously and to support our community. 

The whole community fundraising page is:

On Friday 5 March, KK organised a Masked Singer challenge to identify as many of the 15 teachers involved as possible.  Well done to all the staff who took part and good luck to the students who are trying to guess who they are!
