The Students' Union Advice Service proudly sponsors, The Live Well Expo which is coming to the Great Hall on the 15th of February.

The Live Well Expo is aiming to help bring everyone the tools for a healthy body, healthy mind, and healthy community. We have brought together for you a huge variety of services and organisations in one place to help illuminate all the support and options available to you to help you lead a healthier life. 

This is a day of health advice, healthy food, massages, freebies, games and activities all to help you stay healthy.

There are five zones at the event and you will receive a stamp in each zone where you will be entered into a prize draw to win: Self Care Hamper worth £100, Wellness Centre day pass for two and a bronze Sports Centre membership for the rest of the academic year. The first 100 students to attend our Live Well Expo will get a branded water bottle which is full of goodies!
