What is Take Time Out?
We know you’re busy and finding a work/life balance can be difficult. That’s why we want to help you boost your wellbeing with our Take Time Out initiative, taking place alongside Exam Period 1 in January. Take Time Out will run from the 8 – 12 January and aims to encourage you to schedule in some time, away from your studies, to take a break and connect with the King’s community.
What’s On?

For now, we have picked 5 things to highlight some of the fabulous initiatives taking place over the week:
Feeling overwhelmed or just in need of somewhere to take a break? The Quiet Room will be available in Activity Room A at Strand from 10am on Monday 8 January until 4pm on Friday 12 January. The space includes bean bags, lap pads, ear plugs and other things to help you relax.
