How will Many Hands help me?

We will match you with a student who you can talk to informally and confidentially, about anything related to student life: how to get through the year successfully, as well as anything that might be worrying you or getting you down whilst being a student, e.g. starting University, loneliness, balancing studies, jobs and family life etc.

What can’t Many Hands help me with?

Many Hands can’t make referrals for counselling or therapy or G.P. services and we can’t give you advice on your academic work or coursework submissions.

If you need help with these sorts of issues, please contact the Student Support Services team at your place of study.
