Coventry students have been forced to use foodbanks and warm banks. Many are unaware that there is even material support available for them during this crisis. Indica, the Triage Coordinator for Your Students’ Union Advice Service at Coventry University, said: “You can get up to £1000 to cover living costs if you are experiencing financial difficulty as a result of an unexpected circumstance”.

Charlie’s Coffee Shop is a café with a mission, providing work and structure to people in recovery from addiction. The Dynamo Project’s flagship coffee shop opened to the public on Hertford Street just this month, with the proceeds going back into supporting people involved with the project in their recovery.
