√ Self: student well-being
Students are under a huge amount of stress with assignments and deadlines on top of their day-to-day lives. It’s no wonder why there has been a 450% increase in student mental health issues over the last decade. Whilst we cannot take away our students’ struggles we can help alleviate them by providing recipes, advice and insights for university caterers.
