Sports
"The Union is proud of its sporting heritage. We have students competing in regional and national competitions. We're part of BUCS and we have a fierce local varsity against Lancaster University.
The main part of my role is making sure that you can get involved with everything you want to. The door to opportunities is always open, even more so since the launch of Give It A Go with hundreds of chances to try new things.
University is all about exploring and trying new things, so go on, and get involved. And remember, my door is always open."
