If you want to do something to help hedgehogs in 30 seconds, sign this petition. It proposes adding hedgehogs to the Wildlife and Countryside Act. This will add more protection for these animals which are now on the endangered species list. @OUstudents

Add hedgehogs to schedule 5 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 to give them greater protection and help save the species from total extinction. We think hedgehogs should be given the same level...

It’s #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek (3 – 9 Feb) Play is essential for children’s mental health. Through play, children develop resilience, which contributes to their emotional wellbeing. Take a look at our film, where children explain the importance of play for mental health.🎥

Race Equality Week Day 3- Inclusive Language Being inclusive, It’s about the way we communicate. These can be seen as a barrier to how someone feels included into communities but I see it as a gift because it allows other people to educate themselves to be non-judgmental.

Race Equality Week Day 2: You might catch yourself thinking, "I’ve had it tough, too" or "I have worked hard to get where I am." Having privilege does not negate your hard work or personal challenges.

The government have difficult decisions to make, but neglecting mental health funding mustn't be one of them. Our communities won't benefit from investment in other areas when they're too unwell to thrive. We're proud to sign this open letter and will keep advocating for you 🧡
🚨 Mental health services are already stretched beyond capacity. Yet there are reports that the government may axe vital safeguards for mental health funding. Alongside 17 organisations, we've written to the PM asking to protect funding for services 👇

This is interesting having no fees at all or minimial fees to pay for tuition.
