Student Light Mission With 10.5% of students in the UK not making it to the end
of their degrees and 78% of students in the UK saying they've experienced mental
health issues, something has to be done to increase retention rates and tackle
the increasing levels of poor mental health within higher education
institutions. Through extensive research, we've identified many of the common
causes of students leaving university and experiencing mental health issues.
With the direct support of university students and services, we've come up with
many solutions to try and tackle these problems. This business hopes to act as a
tool and resource for personal development, social and community development and
most importantly a support tool for students. Secondly, networking, sharing data
& research, sharing ideas and collaborating across different universities and
Students’ Unions is difficult and an issue well overdue to be improved;
especially when it comes to doing large scale data collection for research
that's is key to effective campaigns and connecting common student
groups/communities. This platform hopes to bridge that gap between institutions
and empower students groups and leaders to achieve so much more, both
academically, socially and politically.
