University Mental Health Day!🫶

This Thursday, 12th March, it is University Mental Health Day, and this year's theme is Human Connection. There are 2.9 million students, but at least 1 in 3 students has felt or feels lonely.

That's why this year, we are bringing together the theme of Human Connection and Physical Activity. On Thursday, 12th March, we are offering all students and staff the opportunity to book onto a Campus Sport session and then bring a friend for FREE! This could be your friend, coursemate, teammat,e or someone who lives in your halls and you've not spoken to before.

All you need to do is book your usual campus sport space, and then turn up with your friend. The only requirement is that they must be an ARU student or ARU staff member.

You can also speak to our friendly Sport Activators who will be on campus on Thursday, 12th March, delivering some pop-up activities and information stands about Team ARU. Come and say hello!👋

We loved the Cambridge ChampionHer Festival last year, we just had to do it all again 🤭 👀 💜🩵

Who’s ready for another? Details on how to get your FREE tickets the post 🤩

ChampionHer is an initiative to get more women and Non Binary students involved in sport and physical activity. Tickets for our festivals are FREE but limited so priority is given to those who aren’t a sports club member.💜🩵

We need your feedback 🙌

As part of the ChampionHer campaign, we’re exploring the launch of an on-campus Sports Bra Education Workshop and professional fitting service, delivered by a female external provider.

We’re inviting women and non-binary ARU staff and students to share their interest by completing a short survey (around 5 minutes). Your feedback will help us shape an event that’s inclusive, accessible, and genuinely useful for our community.

👉 Click the link in our bio to complete the survey
🗓️ The survey is open until Friday 20 February

Your voice matters — thank you for helping us shape this initiative 💜

SPORTING SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Health and Physical Literacy student Fiona tells us about completing her 250th Parkrun, and offers encouragement to anyone thinking about getting involved.

"I would encourage everyone to give Parkrun a go. The most important message to get across is that you do not have to be a runner to take part and there is no pressure on the time it takes you to complete the 5k."

Congratulations on the big 250 Fiona! 🤩

ARU Writtle Parkrun is every Saturday at 9am. You can find out more on the Parkrun website and ARU Writtle Parkrun page.

We're always looking for volunteers, with some roles involving helping out before or afterwards, so you can still take part in the run. Email [email protected] if you're interested, and why not get your friends and family involved too?
