Charity Staff Sports Day

We are excited to announce that our first Charity Sports Day will be held on Wednesday 11th September. Events will be held at the Sports and Fitness Centre and at other key locations across campus.

Deadline day for entries

Friday 6th September is the last to to sign-up for Pickleballl and Futsal. All entries must be in by 3pm.

All members of staff and PGR students are encouraged to take part, either as participants or spectators. A wide range of sporting events will be on offer, and if Mario Cart is more your thing, you will even be able to test your skills against those of your colleagues by signing up to our Switch challenge.

As well as providing an opportunity to staff to join together in activities and win as many points as possible for their Faculty/CPS, the event aims to raise money for four chosen charities. Participants are encouraged to wear the designated colours for their teams:

  • Purple for the Women’s Hospital (Health and Life Sciences)
  • White for Paper Cup (Humanities and Social Sciences)
  • Red for the Owen McVeigh Foundation (Science and Engineering)
  • Green for Woodlands Hospice (Central).

Details on how to sign up to take part in each event are available HERE. Save the date and join us for a day of fun, fitness, and philanthropy as we come together to support these worthy causes.

If you don’t feel like participating, wear something sporty, or support by wearing your charities colours. We are also looking for volunteers to help on the day!
