We were deeply saddened to hear of this morning’s attacks in Brussels which have already cost the lives of innocent people and injured others.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the friends and relatives of those affected. The College is working to ensure any students in Brussels are safe and accounted for. We wish any students in Brussels a safe return home.

If you have been affected by these events, the Advice Centre (advice@imperial.ac.uk), Student Counselling Service (counselling@imperial.ac.uk) and Chaplaincy (chaplaincy@imperial.ac.uk) are available if you need support. You can also call the Samaritans for confidential emotional support at any time for free on 116 123.

I’m sure you will all join us in showing support and solidarity for those affected by this truly awful incident.

The Officer Trustees and staff of Imperial College Union.
