The club will meet every Wednesday from 12.30 - 12:45pm virtually, with each lunchtime session providing students with a safe space where they can focus on their mental health and practice mindfulness techniques, such as breathing exercises, mediation and using positive affirmations to help studentscope with the impact the lockdown can cause on their mental health. 

Annette Cast, Principal at Southwark College, said: "In these challenging times, student wellbeing has never been more important.
