government-funded initiative which supports talented sportsmen and

We are also responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the University Sports Strategy and work alongside colleagues in key University departments such as Occupational Health and Safety, the Health and Counselling Service, and the Students' Union to achieve the strategy’s key objectives. We support the work of colleagues in the Faculty of Science, particularly in relation to the delivery of related academic programmes and work with a wide variety of external partners, including educational establishments, sports clubs and sporting organisations.
