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.
