We came to Well@Wolves for the friendly atmosphere and the creative activities that allow use to escape from the normal
University life. While creating many different things, Well@Wolves staff listen to our problems and gave amazing advice and
pointed us in the direction to get further help and support.
Well@Wolves encouraged us to be more social and helped us to further our communication and listening skills, and in turn
allowed us to escape our comfort zones. The activities allow us to experience new things and try things we wouldn’t usually.
Enabling us to try new hobbies such as running and baking, as well as to try new foods and experience new lifestyles that have
changed our own lifestyles for example more of us are cooking healthier food and tried vegetarianism and veganism. Some of
us have even continued this long term.

Doggy De-stress:
There’s something very relaxing about sitting with a dog and
having them in uni, especially around periods of high-stress
levels is really helpful, as I have a tendency to get very
stressed very quickly.
Having the dogs in has really helped me throughout the
year, as I have my own dogs at home, but with a 2.5 hour
journey to see them, I miss them a lot while I’m in uni. Doggy
De-stress is the perfect opportunity to sit and just chill with
the dogs, and even get covered in fur, which I am very used
to, so it feels like being home.
Arts and Crafts:
It can be easy to get lost in amongst all the stress
surrounding you at uni, and it can feel quite suffocating at
times, especially around exam period. Sitting down with
something crafty, whether that be sewing, drawing or just
making things in general, is a good way to take yourself
away from the stress and get lost in your imagination
instead. Doing the craft with Well@Wolves has helped me as
it has allowed me to escape into a space of endless
possibilities, even if it’s just for a few hours.
