Wellbeing Services

At Edinburgh University Sports Union, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of our members and recognise the important role sport plays in supporting mental and physical health.
To help our community flourish and thrive, whether through our clubs, programmes, services or events, we have dedicated Executive Committee members and Wellbeing Officers within every club committee, trained to recognise when someone may be struggling and signpost them to appropriate support.
