Take a Break This Winter with SRC’s De-Stress Programme

The nights are drawing in and for many students, exams and deadlines are coming up before we have the winter break.

That’s why we’re offering a range of free events, activities, and resources designed to help all students take a break, recharge, and manage stress this winter (1st - 19th December 2025).

Whether you’re looking for a quiet space to relax, a chance to connect with others, or a fun activity to take your mind off studying, you’ll find something in our diverse programme.

On this page, you’ll find a calendar of de-stress events - sign up for as many or as few as you like!


Support When You Need It

The SRC is here to support you through every exam season. Our Advice Centre offers guidance on exam preparation and academic concerns. If you need free, impartial, and confidential advice, contact advice@src.gla.ac.uk.

For wellbeing support, you can also access the University’s Counselling & Wellbeing Services.
