In July, we were pleased to support the #Madeatuni Energising Places campaign, showing how universities are creating healthier and more active places, bringing communities together and supporting health and wellbeing as the UK recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic.

We’re proud to be the UK’s number one team sport university and that over 75% of our students take part in sport or physical activity.

We’re proud to be the UK’s number 1 team sport university and that over 75% of our students take part in sport or physical activity. We also believe in sharing our facilities and expertise with our local communities - over 2,700 community members use our facilities each week. Among them is the Durham Mums on the Run group, where new and expectant mothers can improve their running, make friends and keep fit.

During the campaign, we shared ground-breaking research providing new insights into sport and wellbeing, including whether England men’s football team should have played in red, not white, in the Euro 2020 final.

We were especially excited to share the inspiring work our athletes do for good causes, raising tens of thousands of pounds every year for charity. We’re very proud that our rugby team won this year’s Rugby Football Union Core Values Award, in recognition of their community work.
