BUCS & Inclusion

Over recent years, BUCS members have worked to develop increasingly inclusive activities on campuses across the UK. Recognising that a number of barriers to sport & physical activity do exist for many students, institutions have sought to change the language they use, the range of opportunities they facilitate and ultimately the breadth off students who get active during their time at university.

Responding to member feedback and with the intent of working to ensure Higher Education is coordinated in sharing best practice, resources, training and activation opportunities, the Inclusion Board will draw together activity from across the sector.

The following member representatives sit on the Inclusion Board, with each bringing their own expert knowledge to the group's discussions:

Chair - Karen Rothery, Surrey Sports Park

Disability Sport Chair - Hannah Webber, University of Nottingham

Mental Health Chair - Dr Mikel Mellick, Cardiff Metropolitan University

Anti-Social Behaviour Chair - Tegan Pickles, University of West London

Diversity Chair - VACANT

Senior Manager Rep. - Phil Newman, London South Bank University

Sabbatical Representative - VACANT

Sabbatical Representative - VACANT

External Representative - Simon Blake, National Union of Students

BUCS Staff Representatives - Emma Trunks
