What is KCLSU Wellbeing?
King's College London Students’ Union (KCLSU) Wellbeing works closely with students at King’s to promote positive wellbeing, supporting a range of student-led initiatives and campaigns throughout the academic year.
Both the initiatives and campaigns led by KCLSU Wellbeing have been created to empower and encourage students to take a positive and proactive approach when looking after their physical and mental wellbeing.
All activities and events include a wide range of student initiatives, events and training across all campuses and residences, and are inspired by the ‘King’s 5 Ways to Wellbeing’.
KCLSU Wellbeing believes that good wellbeing is about discovering who we are and what makes us thrive.
It supports students to take care of themselves and get the best of their time at King’s through the Wellbeing Hub and Peer Support.
The online Wellbeing Hub is the online space for students to find activities, events and resources to boost their wellbeing and thrive.
Peer support is where students support other students. These are student-only spaces where students can share, learn and support each other's wellbeing. KCLSU Wellbeing manage the Peer Support Partnership, where we work with students and staff to support new and existing peer support schemes. We also deliver the KCLSU Buddy Scheme supporting widening participation students to connect with each other.

What wellbeing events are run by KCLSU?
Every year KCLSU holds a wide range of activities and campaigns across all campuses, all of which have been inspired by the ‘King’s 5 Ways to Wellbeing’ and help to encourage better student wellbeing.
Time Out Hubs – A space on each campus, each week (during term time) where students can connect and explore new ways to support their wellbeing. You can meet our friendly Student Ambassadors who will be running a variety of activities (e.g. mindful colouring, crafting, games etc) and are always happy to chat. You can also meet a Faculty Wellbeing Advisor to find out more about getting support at King’s.
Take Time Out – Each year, during exam seasons in January and May, KCLSU Wellbeing work with students and staff across KCL to create spaces where students can take a break from their studies.
Wellbeing Week – Every November, KCLSU Wellbeing run Wellbeing Week. A lot of us need a bit of extra support at this time of the academic year and so we work with students and staff to deliver events for students to look after their own wellbeing.
All information about the events and activities will be available on the Wellbeing Hub, your online space for events, activities and resources to boost your wellbeing and thrive.
