Prioritising your wellbeing is important and on University Mental Health Day (12 March), students are invited to take time out, recharge, and explore the support available to you at Loughborough.

Join Student Wellbeing and Inclusivity (SWAI) for a relaxing and uplifting event in the Edward Herbert Building atrium, from 10am-2pm, filled with activities, conversation, and plenty of freebies.
