We honour and remember the precious lives lost in the plane crash at Ahmedabad Airport in Gujarat, India, last week. Our deepest sympathies and support go out to the loved ones of those lost, and anyone affected by the tragedy. Today, from 14.00 onwards, there will be a memorial hosted by the Students' Association on the Second Floor at Portsoken.
Please join us in remembering the lives lost, and wear white if you can, in respect for Gujarati mourning customs.
We understand this may be a very difficult and emotionally challenging time for many students. Wellbeing guidance is available here, safeguarding assistance is available here, and Mental Health First Aider assistance is available at BPP London Central (Holborn) Library and at the London East (Portsoken) Library Hub, during staffing hours.
