Free weekly sports sessions to improve your mental wellbeing

Take steps to improve your mental health with free sports sessions run in partnership with The Dorset Mental Health Forum.

Weekly sessions take place Monday to Wednesday and include football, gym, table tennis and more. All students, staff and the local community are welcome, and no booking or previous experience is required – simply meet us at the SportBU reception.

The Dorset Mental Health Forum is a local peer led charity that believe hope, mental health and wellbeing are essential to all. BU have partnered with the Dorset Mental Health Forum to provide a physical outlet and space to discuss and support your wellbeing.

Each session will be attended by a qualified Dorset Mental Health Forum staff member who can provide advice and referral details as required. The full timetable is below:

These sessions aim to provide a friendly, relaxed environment and no previous sport experience is required. Drop by, have a chat and take some time out of studying and revision with others.
