Cost of living support

The UK is currently undergoing significantly increased cost of living expenses, the Union are acutely aware of the impact rising bills will have on student life. We are here to help, and are working closely with the University to ensure support is available for RGU students.

  • Breakfast Club Grab your breakfast for FREE at the Union every Tuesday. As the cost-of-living crisis continues to impact people across the UK, the wellbeing of our students and staff remains a priority. Toast, cereal, tea, coffee and juice are available to all students and staff at no cost between 8:15am and 9:30am every Tuesday morning, within the SU space on Level 3 of the Riverside Building. Start your day well and join us to meet, connect and socialise together. Grab your breakfast for FREE at the Union every Tuesday.
