#thisUCSUgirlcan
This Girl Can is a national campaign ran by Sport England, encouraging women and girls to get involved in sport and be more active. Alongside other students unions and BUCS, from Monday 7th November - Sunday 13th November UCSU groups are running a series of give it a go sessions for you to take part in. Whether it’s a sport you’ve played before, or you want to try something completely new, go along to a taster session have fun and get active.
As part of #thisUCSUgirlcan we are raising money for Look Good Feel Better cancer charity who provide practical and effective free services for women and teenagers struggling with the visible effects of cancer. Make sure to attend a RAG event and show your support to raise some money for a good cause!
