Are you finding it more difficult to get everything you need as prices continue to go up?

County has a range of ways to support you during these difficult times, courtesy of additional funds provided by the University.

These include:

• WTF? Where's the Food - All of the undergraduate colleges are hosting two FREE food events during the Lent and Summer Terms. All events are open to all students, regardless of College. To find out when the next FREE food event is go to our College & Communities page on LibCal: https://lancaster-uk.libcal.com/calendar?cid=8283&t=d&d=0000-00-00&cal=8283&page=2&inc=0
• College Financial Support - if you need a short-term solution to your money worries, pop into A32 County Main and speak to Ali Moorhouse, College Manager, about accessing a hardship fund or supermarket voucher. The college can also help with Emergency Loans, and you can apply for financial support such as our Personal Development fund, Engagement and Opportunities Fund, in addition to Travel Awards and Postgraduate Scholarships. Further information can be found on our College Funding and Awards page
• County Foodbank - a wide variety of essential food and hygiene products available from A30 County Main (behind the Porters Lodge). Bring your own bag and fill it with stuff that you need and can't afford right now. Open Tuesdays 10-11am, Thursdays 1-2pm, and Saturdays 2-3pm

And in Lancaster and all around the UK, there's - Too Good to Go
