Vision

Raise awareness and provide opportunities for students of Sheffield Hallam University to increase their levels of physical activity and improve their health and wellbeing.

Mission

Get Active Week will be seven days of physical activity opportunities and awareness raising events designed to encourage students at Sheffield Hallam University to become more active in order to improve their quality of life.

Get Active week is a Hallam Union campaign that is led by the Sports Officer and is supported by Sport Hallam. We will work together in partnership with Union sport clubs, societies, volunteers and Sport Hallam to provide easily accessible physical activity opportunities which promote physical activity to a broad range of people, especially those who don’t engage in physical activity in any way.

Aims

To increase participants understanding of the importance of physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle (5 x 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise)

 To maximise the impact of Get Active week by having a vibrant presence on both campuses throughout the week

 To assemble a programme of events that will engage students who do not currently recognise the benefits of physical activity

 To challenge students and staff to make a commitment to increasing their levels of physical activity

 To run a successful event that has the scope to be developed further in 2012 and beyond

Objectives

Actively engage with students on both campuses at City and Collegiate

Have a good turnout at all advertised Get Active Week events

Have a positive response from students about Get active Week
