💙 Time to Talk: Why Mental Health Matters in the Movement!

At Coole Insight, we believe student officers, union staff, and students deserve better support for their mental health.

📊 The numbers show a worrying trend:
❌ 1 in 3 students report poor mental health at university.
❌ Over 20% of SU staff feel unsupported in their workplace.
❌ 92% of SU CEOs say mental health is a top priority, but what action are we taking?

In our latest blog, we explore five key actions that SUs and HE institutions must take to make a real impact.

🌍 Let’s start conversations, take action, and create healthier, high-performing, and more supportive student communities.

***Leading Well Registration is Open***

Coole Insight is delighted to host the sixth edition of our flagship event 'Leading Well' at The University of Westminster Students'​ Union on Thursday 14th November.

We know that the first few months of such a busy first term is a challenging and tiring period for all sabbatical officers, and our event provides an opportunity to pause, share experiences, and reflect on all of the hard work that you have undertaken so far.

At the event, delegates will:

- Receive a presentation and data analysis from Yemi Gbajobi on early student officer experiences
- Find out the details of how to win a £2,000 project grant or study trip to ACUI courtesy of Coole Insight Ltd
- Hear from a Special Guest, Keynote Speaker
- Have lots of time to network
- Engage in a panel debate and discussion

The event is open to all students' union union officers. If you would like to attend our event, then please click on the link below.

All officers on the Student Officer Support Programme can attend for free, and we'd like to extend the invitation to all non-member students' unions who can attend for a small fee of £40+ VAT per officer.

We look forward to seeing you all in November and if you need any more details or have any questions please contact Jamie Stratton - [email protected]

Some business news that is actually way more personal to me. If you know, you know!

Coole Insight has been shortlisted for the 2024 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the ‘Established Business’ category.

To say I’m a bit emotional and overwhelmed would be an understatement 😬🤦🏻‍♂️🙌😅
