Message to our Nepali community:

We've seen the devastating news from Nepal and Tibet, and our hearts are with everyone affected by the floods.

Please know that you are not going through this alone. Whether you're worried about family and friends back home or struggling with the distance and helplessness of being thousands of miles away at a time like this, we see you, and we're here for you.

UCB is reaching out directly to Nepali students and offer-holders with support in place, including:
- Free confidential wellbeing support
- Financial help for those facing hardship
- Flexibility with attendance & assessments
- Individual support for incoming students affected by travel disruption

And as your student Officer team, we're here too. To listen, to help, and to support you however we can. Please don't hesitate to reach out to any of us.
You're part of our community, and we've got your back.

Your Guild Officer Team Khushi, Soham and Mahdeen
