Welfare and Mental Health
The care of our student body goes beyond their finances.
Some students find being away from home hard, others have or develop negative thoughts and habits which distract and detract from their study and enjoyment of the Cambridge experience.
Established by the generous bequest of Dulcie Brian, the widow of the late Michael Vaughan Brian (KC 1937), for "students in need", further alumni donations have enabled the fund to appoint a resident Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, and your donations continue to support our work in caring for students and educating the community about mental health awareness.
Many people don’t realise the range of health challenges and life experiences that some students bring with them to King’s. There’s often an assumption that everyone who arrives here has had the same opportunities — but that’s far from the case.
Donations to the Student Welfare and Mental Health Fund enable us to provide a strong, inclusive wellbeing programme — one that empowers all our students to achieve their full potential.
