A SCOTTISH university is putting on extra support for its students after revealing that only one in five are receiving government help amid the cost of living crisis.
A third students at the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) Outer Hebrides are living on £50 a month after bills and rent, and 92% of those studying at the institution say their mental health has been negatively affected.
The university has set up the Comunn Cubby, where once a month students can secure second-hand clothes, shoes, blankets, games and books, with any donation going towards the Western Isles Association for Mental Health.
