Sport Mentoring & Befriending

MENTOR RECRUITMENT IS NOW CLOSED

Sport Mentoring & Befriending aims to support new and existing students by matching them to a Sport Mentor & Befriender who will accompany and encourage them take part in sport, exercise and fitness activities.

Sport Mentor & Befrienders (the person providing the support) support Sport Mentees (the person receiving the support) through a mixture of befriending sessions (e.g. going to the gym, taking an exercise class together or accompanying on SU activity) and mentoring sessions (to discuss any personal or academic issues).

Sport Mentor & Befrienders offer practical support and signposting to other services. The Sport Mentoring & Befriending programme has so many benefits both for the Sport Mentor & Befrienders and Sport Mentees, so check out our Sport Mentor & Befriender's and Sport Mentee's webpages and get involved! To find out how one of our Sport Mentor & Befrienders helped a UCLan student, checkout the University's news pages here! 

The Sports Mentoring & Befriending programme ties in with UCLan’s Healthy University initiative.  This aspires to create a learning environment that enhances the health, well-being and sustainability of the university community and enables people to achieve their full potential.
