Student Food Bank Survey

Student Food Bank Survey

As a Students' Union it is our priority to represent all students and ensure that we are helping to create a better University experience for our students. Therefore, we are conducting some research on Food Insecurity amongst students at UCLan. Our aim is to gain an insight into the experiences of UCLan students regarding their access to food.

All information collected from this survey will remain anonymous and confidential and once data collection has been completed all identifying information will be removed. This information will not be shared with third parties. For more information regarding this please read our privacy statement: https://www.uclansu.co.uk/dataprivacy/

Please note that we may touch upon some sensitive topics within this survey. If you feel personally affected by the topics or would like some further help and advice, please contact the UCLan Wellbeing Service at wellbeing@uclan.ac.uk or the Students’ Union Advice Centre at SAdvice@uclan.ac.uk.
