Why did UWLSU create the Sports Cupboard?
Your VP of Activites (24/25), Trisul, committed to tackling financial barriers to participation in sport. Trisul has started different initiatives to support students to get involved in sports, including the "Sport Access Fund" and now the "Sports Closet". The aim is to see a more active community and students who are supported to participate in the activities they want to, without being held back by financial barriers.
