Welfare

Henry Thorogood

Hey there! I’m Henry, a second year Mathmo, well known for an endless supply of mini-muffins, tea and coffee, and perhaps an unhealthy Disney obsession. More importantly, I’m also your Male Welfare Rep, so you’re always welcome to pop over to my room, Rose Lane 3:3, where you can talk to me about any problems, issues or just a friendly chat! You will also likely see me at Welfare Tea, Film Night, or perhaps sampling some of the bar's wide range of drinks and toasties - please feel free to contact, find or ring me any time.

Technically, we coordinate JCR welfare, head the welfare sub-committee and create a link between JCR welfare and the greater Merton welfare system. More interestingly for you, I'm sure, in doing so we:

• provide a weekly Welfare Tea in the JCR each Sunday at 4pm; we'll lay out a banquet of delights, from snacks to teas, cakes to biscuits, in this popular event that invaluably bridges the gap between brunch and early supper or formal hall. It's a great opportunity to socialise with those in the years above you and to get to know all those people in Freshers' week that you only met in passing. Come along! Free food and brilliant people - what more could you want?
• put on a Film/Sitcom Night every Thursday at 9.30pm in the TV room, popcorn and snacks abound. See you then!
• keep a well stocked laundry room, featuring a wide variety of condoms.
• can provide you, without charge but with the utmost discretion and confidentiality, personal attack alarms and pregnancy tests.

Most importantly, however, we are also here to provide a listening service if ever you are having problems, whether at Merton or at home. Privacy is taken very seriously, and you can be sure that anything that you say to either of us will be kept strictly confidential. As mentioned above, we'll always be around at Welfare Tea and Film Night, so feel free to grab us at either of these times. Both of us are also living in Rose Lane (Henry at 3:3 and Sarah at 3:4) so feel free to pop over to our rooms at any time, even if you believe your problem to be silly or insignificant.
