WWP KENNEL KITTY Help Nicola Hall raise money to support West Wales Poundies Dog Rescue

During the lockdown last March, AUWHC and AUMHC travelled the distance to Benidorm to keep members active and raise money for Mind Aberystwyth.

This lockdown, AUWHC have decided to travel 870 miles, the distance of the Welsh coast path through running, cycling and walking in their local areas🚶‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️ We aim to complete this by the end of January!

We have chosen to raise money for West Wales Poundies. This is a charity which is dedicated to saving the lives of dogs in Welsh council pounds. It would be amazing if anyone could sponsor us and donate money to help this worthy cause!

A page will be set up in the coming days for donations.

We are looking forward to raising money for West Wales Poundies and keeping our members active during this lockdown! Here are some pictures of our members with their own dogs 🐶

🏑💚
Today is World Mental Health Day and AUWHC alongside AUMHC wanted to share everything we are doing this year to support each other.

After last years success, we have continued our partnership with Mind Aberystwyth. We are currently planning lots of fundraising ideas for this year to raise money for them.

This year we are also focusing on raising awareness about mental health and breaking the stigma. Our aim is to support all of our members and others in the student community. We are looking forward to our return to hockey and being able to support each other on and off the pitch during these difficult times.

Over the lockdown period, we teamed up with Aberystwyth University Men’s Football Club to create a video where our members discussed the impact of sport on mental health. This video helped raise awareness about ways in which sport has helped people and we aim for hockey to continue to help students suffering with mental health.

This year our committees have been given the opportunity to take part in mental health awareness training which will help prepare us for certain situations and know how we can support our members! This training is an amazing opportunity for the club and we are hoping that this will help us support each other even more.

🏑💙

After last years success, we are pleased to announce that Aberystwyth University Men’s and Women’s Hockey Club will be continuing our partnership with Mind Aberystwyth.

Last year we raised over £3000 for Mind Aberystwyth with the help of Aberystwyth University Netball Club and Aberystwyth University Football Club.

This year we hope to continue to raise money for Mind, as well as raising awareness about mental health. We are hoping to introduce Mental Health Ambassadors to our clubs which will help improve the way in which we deal with mental health.

We are already in the process of planning our events this year and more ways to raise money for Mind, as well as helping break the stigma surrounding mental health in sport and student life!

We are looking forward to sharing all our plans with everybody soon! Enjoy some pictures of us supporting Mind Aberystwyth last season!
