Introduction

Healthy Campus is a university college wide initiative organised, developed and contributed to by all areas on campus to encourage both staff and students to improve and maintain a positive state of health and wellbeing.

It is a holistic approach focusing on the whole person: the physical, psychological and spiritual. The Healthy Campus has a steering group, a range of working groups and on-going themes and projects. We aim to promote some of the many opportunities already available to staff and students on the campus, as well as provide opportunities to experience new activities at regular intervals throughout the year.

The main event of the year is the Healthy Campus Period, which takes in the Autumn semester. During this period there will be plenty of opportunities to try your hand at something new, take a look at your diet and remove some of the stresses from your life.

The Healthy Campus steering group are always looking for new people to contribute. If you would like to get involved with Healthy Campus or would like more information, please contact Rafe Elliott on 01522 583670 or via email to rafe.elliott@bishopg.ac.uk
