The University of Manchester Wellbeing Week: 28-30 April
21 Apr 2009
Explore the health, fitness and well-being activities available on campus
This year's Wellbeing Week (28-30 April) offers three days of exciting FREE activities and stalls in the Wellbeing Room, Dover Street Building.
Organised by the Wellbeing Team at The University of Manchester, Wellbeing Week is a partnership between different parts of the University and external organisations, working together to present some of the health, fitness and well-being opportunities available on campus.
This year will be our third Wellbeing Week. Each year more events are included and each year there has been an increase in the number of people attending; in 2009 we are hoping that that trend will continue.
Take the time to discover new ways of improving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and state of mind: de-stress with sessions such as Calm Energy - and how to achieve it, enjoy a massage or have a fitness assessment and find out your body fat composition. Try out the FREE activities on offer and start the summer term as you mean to continue.
