Active Wellbeing Fund
The aim of the Active Wellbeing Fund is to support institutions to deliver projects that improve the wellbeing of the students and staff within their institution, through specific delivery to tackle inequalities which may exist.
Projects will have a focus on strengthening the connections between physical activity and wellbeing so students and staff members can feel the benefits of an active lifestyle. The projects are designed to engage targeted audiences via a place-based approach.
You can find details of each project for both the 2024-25 and 2025-26 funds below:

Active Wellbeing Network Day
As part of our delivery, we hosted the Active Wellbeing Network Day on Thursday 3 April 2025, at the University of Warwick. The event gathered BUCS members to encourage valuable connections and discussions on Active Wellbeing in Higher Education.
Engaging and insightful workshops were presented by Sport England, the Insight Team at BUCS, Student Minds, Loughborough University, University of Nottingham, Canterbury Christ Church University, Nottingham Trent University, and the University of Warwick.
You can view the slides from the day here.
