James
Welfare Officer
Moving to college can be a difficult time- that’s why we have established peer support hours with our JCR Welfare Officer, James O Dowd!The sessions will take place in the Welfare Space, on the second floor of Oldham House. If you feel anxious, homesick, or are struggling in any way, or even if you just need a cup of tea and a chat, don't be afraid to reach out
