Moving on from Halls: Support available

Posted 1 year ago

Get to know where to find support when in the community 🏡

When living in halls, you have your Residential Advisers on duty each night as well as reception staff available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When the time comes to leave halls and move into a local residential area, the support available will look a little different. 

The chances are that you'll have a happy, enjoyable stay no matter where you live in the city but if you ever find yourself in need of some support or advice, here are some organisations you can reach out to. Be sure to save this for later and pass onto your housemates.

Liverpool Guild of Students

Your Students’ Union has a free, independent and completely confidential advice service which offers support with wellbeing, academic and housing related issues. Please visit the Guild website here to find out more or make an appointment. Your four elected Student Officers who work at the Guild are also on hand to listen to your issues and speak on your behalf to the likes of the University, if necessary.
