Wellbeing Fund

The Student's Union has received funding from the Welsh Government to support students who are facing hardship because of the impact of the pandemic, and one way we wish to use this funding is to directly provide students with the things they need to support them through our Wellbeing Fund. 

 

Our Wellbeing Fund aims to provide students with the opportunity to gain access to item(s) that will support their wellbeing or university life. This is to allow students to have the opportunity and accessibility to items which may have been restricted due to the pandemic.

 

This is not a loan: it is a grant with the cost of the item not having to be repaid. Requests for items will be paid for by the Students’ Union rather than payment directly to your bank account.

 

We do not wish to provide an ‘intrusive’ process to apply to the fund, therefore we do not require any financial information within your application.

 

Eligibility

In order to be eligible for the Cardiff Students' Union Wellbeing Fund you need to... 

 

1. be a current Cardiff Unviersity Student;

Please note the Wellbeing Fund has a limited amount of money, and applications will close once all funding has been allocated. In most cases we would expect the items listed to be under £100 in value, but will in exceptional cases consider requests for more. Example items include text books, stationary, and resources need for placement.
