Inclusive Sport for everyone For students with a disability or long-term medical condition, our Disability and Inclusivity Sports Officer offers a wide range of support to help you get involved. We understand that physical activity and sport can have a positive impact on the wellbeing of our students. Our dedicated Disability and Inclusivity Sports Officer works closely with key groups to develop our offer - ensuring that we best support the needs of the community and enable all students to be active whilst at University.
Work out with us We offer 1-2-1 supported fitness sessions with our friendly fitness instructors as well as adapted wellbeing workouts and classes to ensure disabled students can make the most of our extensive facilities. Our referral scheme via the Disability Support and Mental Health Advisory teams also offers discounted UoN Sport and Fitness Membership to eligible students.
Join a sports club Our popular Wheelchair basketball and Goalball clubs welcome disabled and nondisabled students and several clubs run specific inclusive Just Play sessions including climbing, equestrian, handball, swimming, tennis and trampoline. Over 60 clubs have also pledged commitment to our awardwinning Welfare in Sport programme, which promotes mental health awareness in sport.

Train with a buddy If you want to get active or prepare for a competition, our Sports Buddy scheme allows you to bring in a friend, family member or a support worker as someone who can support you during your workout. You can find out more on how to activate this by contacting the Disability Sport Officer.
Volunteer with us Students can volunteer within our Wheelchair basketball or Goalball clubs or join our Inclusive Sports leaders programme, where our student leaders can access training and opportunities in the local community, supporting disabled children, teenagers and adults.
