  • Community

Offering brilliant sporting facilities and services to BU and AUB staff and students is, of course, a huge part of what we do at SportBU. But providing a service to, and engaging with, the wider local community in Bournemouth and Poole and beyond is just as important – whether that’s through our kids’ parties and holiday camps, or charity initiatives.
