Other Welfare Information

Please see the welfare page for lots of useful welfare information.

Apart from the counselling and support activities mentioned below, the MCR Welfare Officers are also responsible for the Parenting Scheme, in which Freshers are given a “parent” to introduce them to Churchill.

Your MCR Welfare Officer is there for you to chat to about any worries you have or problems you may be experiencing. Don’t hesitate to contact them no matter how silly you may think the reason. Having problems filling in forms? Irritated with your supervisor? Stressed? Relationship trouble? Housemates driving you mad? Money worries? Or just fancy a cup of coffee/tea or a beer in the MCR bar… get in touch! They can also provide you with free condoms, lubricant, oral shields (dental dams), pregnancy tests, and attack alarms. Female condoms (femidoms) and non-latex condoms are available upon request.
