Hild Bede Welfare

This is the official facebook page for the Hild Bede Welfare committee. We are headed by Hannah Burgess and Harrison Townley. Please feel free to contact us

The college welfare team provides a confidential listening service that allows you to come and talk to another student about anything that may be bothering you - Whether you'd like a friendly chat, need to get something off your chest, or need some info, we are here to help.

Nothing will be disclosed to anyone outside the team without your consent unless we believe you or someone else is at risk.

We are here to listen to you and offer practical guidance. We can provide students with relevant information and sexual health supplies such as condoms and pregnancy tests. We can also help you to get in contact with other services that may be helpful to you.

We also promote specific campaigns to increase the awareness of issues such as mental health, sexual assault, alcohol awareness, disability, and stress.

There are several ways of getting in contact with us, and it is completely up to you which method you decide to use.

You can talk to us:

- In person at welfare drop-ins - Held three days a week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 7-8PM in the welfare lounge (located in Hild - through the doors behind reception, past the offices and turn up the first set of stairs and we are based halfway up - you can't miss us! ) - At least one member of the team will be in the room during the welfare hours.

- By email:

Male Welfare - Harry Hardman harry. hardman@durham. ac. uk

- Feel free to message us via Facebook; either individually, or via the welfare page - we can be made available to meet up in person outside of hours too!
