Peer2Peer is a new, student-run programme offering confidential, informal support to undergraduates, graduates and post-docs throughout their time in Cambridge. The programme has been developed in recognition of the essential role which students play in supporting and encouraging one another on a day-to-day basis. Put simply, Peer2Peer helps students to better support their peers.
Trinity Hall’s team of Peer2Peer Supporters have been fully trained and receive ongoing, regular supervision to ensure the continual development of their skills. Peer2Peer Supporters are available to talk with you informally about anything concerning you; no problem is too big or too small! Peer2Peer adheres to a strict system of values and all Supporters are confidential, non-judgmental, and responsive. Peer2Peer promotes active listening: the aim is not to provide you with an answer but to encourage you to open up and talk through the issues or worries you might be having in complete confidentiality.
Further information can be found at the University of Cambridge Peer2Peer page.

Cake
Lots of cake is eaten in the MCR, usually on Tuesday afternoons from about 4.30pm to about 5.30pm. All are welcome! Cake is a cooperative effort: bring some cake, if you can, and share it around. Don’t worry if you can’t, though… we are usually pretty well provided for!
Various members of your MCR Committee and Peer Support team will be in attendance every week, and would be happy to talk to you about what they do.
