Wellbeing Fair

Myself and Sparky planned and organised the Wellbeing Fair, which took place in the Underground on Monday the 22nd of September. It was really busy and I got to meet lots of students- old and new.

We decided to develop the Wellbeing Fair this year, and progressed from the usual focus of sport and exercise, expanding the theme to include mental wellbeing, sexual health, drugs and alcohol and then general niceness.

The fair definately had something for everyone- there were loads of stalls so I am going to list my top 5 features of the fair.

1 -> FREE massages
2-> "Smoke Free" PINK bingo pens
3-> Self Defence Demonstrations (plus LOADS of sign ups to Domeneque's self defence classes)
4-> My wheelie bin full of condoms
5 -> Wii Sports

There were LOADS of stalls, a body pit stop, where students could find ouy how fit they are and a pledge wall, where 100s of students set themselves goals for the year ahead. There were loads of pledges, ranging from "I will go swimming 5 times a week" to "I will quit smoking" to "I will walk to the pizza shop instead of ordering in"- every step counts I guess! Thank you for everybody that came along! Hope you had a good time!
