Health and wellness programme
The health and wellness programme provides a range of physical activities, workshops, awareness days and fairs for staff and students at the University.
Activities take place throughout the year at the University and enable staff and students to learn more about health issues and participate in some form of activity.
Ideas or suggestions are always welcomed. Please contact the Sports and Wellness Development Officer - Paul Mouland on 01392 722039.
The wellness scheme has been kindly sponsored by Russell Seal.
Health testing days
The Sports Park staff can visit your department to deliver a free health testing day for staff.
The tests are very simple and don't require any running around or clothing changes. These tests are also very quick and discrete.
Healthy Halls
The Healthy Halls scheme provides activities, workshops and events for students in University residences aimed at improving their health and increasing their awareness of wellbeing.
Activities are either free or are heavily subsidised and take place across the residences. You don’t have to live in the residence where the event is being held in order to take part.
The scheme was launched by the Sports Park in association with the Annual Fund.
Virtual Gym TV
VirtualGymTV (VGTV) gives you the luxury of professional fitness instructors in your own home.
The free service offers classes such as step aerobics, strengthen and tone, spinergy, martial arts training sessions and much more – all in the comfort of your living room.
Wellbeing Week
Each academic year we deliver a week of wellness activities and workshops for free.
This gives the students and staff the opportunity to experience activities they may not have had the opportunity to pursue.
Previous activities include holistic yoga, African drumming, meditation, wellbeing workshops, Homeopathy drop-in sessions, Zero Balancing and a personal safety and self defence class.
Mental health referral scheme
The Disability Resource Centre (DRC) and the Sports office are working together on a scheme that utilises exercise as a treatment for mild mental health problems. Please contact the DRC for more information.
Occupational health
Occupational health (OH) is about preventing ill-health at work with the focus being on promoting and maintaining physical, mental and social wellbeing at work. Occupational health practitioners help facilitate the recovery of staff back to favourable health and wellbeing. Visit the OH website for full details.
Smoking cessation courses
We have specialist staff trained to help people give up smoking. If you wish to have a chat about the various options available to help you quit smoking then please contact us.
Organic fruit and vegetable boxes
Streatham Sports Park and the St Luke's Sports Centre are now collection points for Linscombe Farm [external link] organic vegetable boxes. Staff, students and members of the public can order and pay online direct from Linscombe Farm, but have the convenience of collecting the boxes on campus.
