The National Union of Students, NUS, continues to lead a campaign to fight for students’ rights as England's roadmap out of lockdown becomes increasingly tangible. South West Londoner spoke to NUS Vice President for Higher Education, Hillary Gyebi-Ababio, about the main aims of their #StudentsDeserveBetter campaign, both during the pandemic and in the long-term. Throughout the pandemic, the NUS has helped secure £174 million for student support across the UK, £500 million back for students by securing early tenancy release and rent refunds for students in accommodation lockdown, and a four-nation U-turn on A-level, GCSE and BTEC grading in the summer. We also spoke to students at London universities to hear directly about their experiences during the pandemic.

In this talk we will be discussing how the pandemic has impacted motherhood and changed the role of mother figures.

Ruth offers great advice about parenting, funny tales from lockdown and the importance of prioritising yourself. We also spoke to Yolanda from Cruse Bereavement Care who offered advice on how to cope with grief if you have lost a mother figure in your life and may find Mother’s Day difficult this year. The bereavement volunteer emphasised the importance of reaching out and staying connected at a time when we are unable to embrace loved ones.

We've all got a weird story about family. Whether it's an uncle, a parent, or a cousin, we all have that compelling family yarn to spin at dinner parties. Family Ties is a podcast devoted to finding these stories and sharing them with the world. This week, our own Helen Brown tells us about her great-aunt Tia Ellie, a former Cuban revolutionary who was involved with the kidnapping of Formula 1 legend Juan Manuel Fangio in 1958.

While the travel industry has almost completely ground to a halt, some people are making the difficult decision to pack their bags. Alice and Alex have been slowly travelling around Europe for months now. They talk about how important it is to travel smart during the pandemic and to take it on yourself to stay safe and responsible. Brexit is causing many to travel to preserve their immigration status. Howie, a UK national, moved to Germany in December to maintain his right to work. For others, their livelihood depend on tourism so it is vital that they travel. Eduardo, an experienced DJ living in Tulum, Mexico, claims to have caught Coronavirus twice, but that hasn’t put him off. He now performs in villas and on private yachts, for the scores of people escaping to Tulum to take advantage of the comparatively laissez-faire restrictions. Check out South West Londoner’s podcast on travelling in a pandemic here.
