Dance Group: Commercial & Contemporary (01/06/2026, 18:30)

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:30:35 +0100

Hello! 👋

My name is Ruby from CT1 and I’ve been dancing since I was 4 years old. I’ve been trained in a variety of styles throughout my life, as well as performing and competing in different shows. 🎭

I’ve always enjoyed discovering new styles and learning about their cultural influences and stylistic overlaps; that is why I want you to let loose with this fusion-based dance class exploring commercial and contemporary choreography, mixed with elements of lyrical and street dance. 💃

Expect an intense and invigorating dance fitness and strength-conditioning warm-up, as well as a relaxing and muscle-freeing cool-down. 💪

I encourage you to bring positive vibes and a willingness to improvise and collaborate. 💖

This class is aimed at intermediate to advanced levels, but all are welcome! ✨

Hope to see you there! 🎉

Green Thumbs Regular Project (07/06/2026, 11:00)

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 11:17:17 +0100

WE ARE THE UNIVERSITY'S GARDENING PROJECT.

We are a student-led group that manages and cultivates a large allotment space on campus. We work and grow our produce collectively and we welcome new volunteers.

GROWING AND BUILDING

Some of the crops that we have successfully grown or are currently growing include potatoes, raspberries, gooseberries, red currants, sweetcorn, tomatoes, artichokes, radishes, salad leaves, a variety of herbs, carrots, onions, beetroot, strawberries, chillies, peas, green beans. We also have a few fruit trees! We work together to grow our produce and share it between members.

SUSTAINABILITY

We strive to be as sustainable as possible in our activities. We use second-hand and repurposed resources where possible and aim to incorporate permaculture into our use of the space. We also regularly engage with sustainability events on campus. During the harvest periods we sell surplus produce on campus, saving members of the community from purchasing food from less-sustainable sources.

WELLBEING & VOLUNTEERING

Outdoor activities like gardening are often discussed as great ways to improve mental health and general wellbeing. Whilst gardening isn't a cure-all for mental ill-health, we strive to create an inclusive, welcoming and safe space for students, staff and members of the public to work together and build friendships. We ensure that all our produce is either gifted to students, or given to people in need.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

You can register here! The project's comms officer will get in contact with you.

🗓️ Sessions every Sunday 11:00am - 3:00pm

📍 Meet outside Silberrad

.🥾Green Thumbs is an outdoor project - please remember to wear wellies, boots, or sturdy flat shoes – and dress appropriately for the weather!

Your safety is our priority.

Here’s what’s in place every night:

Drink toppers and spiking test kits available from the bar.
Trained staff and security who know what to do if spiking is suspected.
Ask for Angela – a discreet way to get help if you feel unsafe.
Welfare Assistants on hand during big nights out.
CCTV and venue patrols for added safety.

If you ever feel uncomfortable, talk to any staff member – we’ll listen, no judgment.

Don’t be a prick. Spiking is a crime.

Spiking isn’t a prank. It’s assault.
If someone spikes a drink, a vape, or uses a needle, that’s a criminal offence. Full stop.

If you’ve been spiked, it’s not your fault – ever.
We’ll take it seriously, and we’ll help you get safe and supported.

SU MAKES: Pages sessions are exclusively for the existing journalling community*. They’re based on the idea of Morning Pages - a daily practice of writing in a stream-of-consciousness/ brain-dump way.

Writing regularly in this way is enormously beneficial to your wellbeing; it’s a judgment-free opportunity to get your thoughts down on paper and cleared from your mind. You’ll find solutions to problems naturally, process emotions, gain comfort with writing, and learn to silence your inner critic.

As with all of our Makes, this is a zero-pressure moment to enjoy – all you need to do is: don’t think too hard and just write.

* If you don’t already have a journal with us, look out for the next SU MAKES: Journals session at the end of every month when you can pick up your own book and begin to make it truly your own

SU MAKES...Your Best Year Yet (17/06/2026, 16:30)

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 15:54:56 Z

Best Year Yet is your self-made guide to help you reflect on the past year and plan the next one – a way to set new year’s resolutions that actually stick!

We believe that with guidance, support, accountability, and dedicated time & space, you can be empowered to make 2026 your Best Year Yet.

How it works…

Start your Best Year Yet at any time in the year
At your first sessions, you’ll review the last year & plan the year ahead
Meet other people who are working towards goals like yours, find community & support to smash your goals (if that’s your thing – lone wolves also welcome!)
Come to BYY sessions every month to check in with your progress and community
Drop in & out through the year - no pressure!

You can come to as many sessions as you want to, but you only need to come to one.
