The Students’ Union are deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Matthew Davies, a first-year Film Studies student from Bowland College.

We are working closely with the University to support their arrangements for a tribute for Matthew and to provide support to anyone affected by this news. We encourage anyone to reach out for support during this difficult time.

There are a variety of avenues for support available through the University and beyond that may be helpful, including: 

• Student wellbeing support and the Counselling and Mental Health service for students 
• the Chaplaincy for staff and students, who can be contacted directly via chaplaincy@lancaster.ac.uk. 
• The Students’ Union’s advice service, which offers confidential help and support to students. Email advice@lancastersu.co.uk

Support is also available from charities such as Sudden, the Samaritans, The Good Grief Trust and Mind amongst others.
