It's fifth week in Oxford, which - naturally - means alpacas! Somerville JCR's welfare team organised the visit of these lovely guys, along with some sheep, goats, and other animals. We hope all our students got the chance to say hello!

Our brilliant JRF Dr Emma Soneson @emmasoneson.bsky.social was on the BBC last night discussing the mental health of Oxfordshire's children and young people: "When people think about Oxfordshire they think of this magnificent university town and forget about a lot of the inequalities."

Addressing #inequalities across the county is essential for shifting the dial in children & young people's #mentalhealth. Great to see this as a focus of the new Director of Public Health Annual Report for Oxfordshire. Lots of work to be done, but equally, lots to be hopeful about.
