Sport & PE students in their 1st and 3rd years enjoyed a residential in Wales this week. We're all about making sports better on every level, even at the peak of Yr Wyddfa (aka Snowdon)! Thanks to the Frontier Centre and instructors for keeping it safe and fun! 🏞️

Quite simply, the best gig I’ve ever been to. A truly special night seeing NITEWORKS in Glasgow for their last ever gig. Incredible performance and atmosphere. An emotional one, bringing on Binneas Gaelic Choir on to finish. Mòran taing! #iainmcghee’s

Content doesn’t come much more wholesome than this. Scotland’s rugby captain thinks he’s going to meet a sponsor winner, but ends up meeting his Greenock-born granny who lives in Australia (where he himself was born).

Trying my hardest to do everything I can whilst working a full time job and moving house this Friday. Slowly but surely losing faith. Any help would be really appreciated. Even a share could help get the GB Deaf Football teams to Tokyo 🇬🇧⚽️🇯🇵

Another fantastic trip representing UCLan Sport & Health Sciences over to Hunan Normal University-official in Changsha, China to work with the HUNNU / UCLAN Sport and PE programme. It’s always a pleasure to see the outstanding work Alex and the team are doing, and to deliver some teaching myself. Great job everyone involved.
