Welfare

As you know, at Trinity, we take our Welfare seriously. Unlike other Colleges, we have a long-standing, much cherished institution, incorporating a mixture of Welfare and WELFAAAAAAAAAAARE.

For those who dont understand what this means, we're basically there to look after you and provide you with everything you need, from condoms to cake (and curry) and of course, some TLC. We're there if you want a friendly chat. If you're having a bad week or an essay crisis, then we can provide a some tea and an open ear or two.

On top of that, twice a term, we do WELFARE. No other College does this. You should know how it works already: girls and boys split up, go for a meal, partake in some joyous inter-year bonding, before meeting 'the other half' at a cheap public house and then going out to one of Oxford's classy clubs or in Finnlo Crellin's words, getting down and dirty.

As well as this, we host and organise mid-term welfares which have ranged in the past from ice-skating, to football trips, to paintballing. As your Welfare Reps we are always open to more suggestions.

If you have any problem at all, the Welfare system the Welfare reps, the Peer Supporters, and the Welfare Dean (Emma Percy) are there to look out for you (and we do actually mean that.)

You can contact the welfare reps on menswelfare@trinity.ox.ac.uk and womenswelfare@trinity.ox.ac.uk.

We provide:

Condoms
Lubricant
Chlamydia tests
Rape alarms
Information and advice on sexual health clinics around Oxford, and the right people to talk to about a range of issues you might face during your time at Oxford.
Reimbursement of the morning-after pill and pregnancy tests
FUN IN LARGE QUANTITIES.

You dont have to come and talk to us directly if you need any of the above (although we'd love it if you did). You can email us on the Welfare emails (above) or individually. We discreetly pidge supplies if they are requested. Also, remember there is a free condom dispensing machine in the Beer Cellar toilets.

Whatever your problem, please dont hesitate to contact us. As Finnlo Crellin says, we'll welcome you with open arms and smiling faces.
