Students are being given emergency food supplies and library fines are being halted as part of action by a Welsh universities to help in the cost of living crisis. Free period products, free showers, 24-hour heated study centres, and reasonably-priced hot meals are also being offered.
The measures were outlined by Cardiff, Aberystwyth, and Cardiff Metropolitan universities. They said they knew students were under financial pressure with Cardiff Met putting £500,000 on the table to help students in the cost of living crisis.
Meanwhile one-off cost of living payments are being given to staff. Those are £500 for Cardiff University staff and £750 for employees at Swansea University.
