Reading University Students’ Union is offering a budget-friendly breakfast for students this winter.
The price of food has become an increasing worry for students across the country during the cost-of-living crisis, which is what the SU hopes to tackle by helping students access a cheap meal every weekday.
Students at Reading University can head to the student’s union building for a ‘budget-friendly’ breakfast, as well as low-cost and free activities every weekday.
RUSU is also providing support during the breakfast club for those who may need it.
Available from 8am-11am, breakfast options include tea, filter coffee, porridge, cereals, toast and toppings. Gluten-free and vegan options are also available.

The Student Union breakfast club announcement reads: ‘Let’s face it, food is expensive. Surviving on a student budget at the moment is hard, and the quest for cheap eats can feel never-ending. Well, we’ve got your back.’
Sheldon Allen, the President of RUSU, told the BBC that students are ‘not immune’ from rising energy bills.
Students ‘need support not just to stay on at university, but for their own wellbeing,’ Allen added.
Students can get tea, coffee, porridge, cereals, and toast for just £1.50
The cost-of-living crisis has been deemed a ‘key priority’ for RUSU, which has ‘identified a number of key areas within this priority.’ RUSU is working with the university to give students ‘the best possible support in the year ahead and beyond.’
Together with the university, RUSU has created a resource to help students budget and manage their money across a range of topics from food to studying. The money guide also provides information on how students can earn during their degree, save money on travel, and access further financial support.
Reading students needing additional advice are able to reach out to RUSU’s Advice Service, which provides free, confidential and independent advice from Specialist Money Advisors.
