It's been shocking for us all to witness the far-right, racist violence both nationally and within our own city over the last few days.

The Union is here for every single student at Manchester Met and we will always stand against division, hate and discrimination.

We're aware that some of our students remain in Manchester over the summer for a variety of reasons. If you're feeling anxious, vulnerable or would like further information on support available, please reach out to any of the below services.
