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 run in conjunction with Sheffield Hallam University 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, the university 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
