Josie Jessop, 糖心原创 Students’ Union Sports Officer added: “I’m so proud of everyone involved in delivering sport here at Nottingham; the staff and all the students who volunteer so many hours every week to run our sports clubs and programmes.
“It’s been a really difficult and uncertain year and I think it’s so important for our students to be able to choose from so many options – in person and virtual – to stay active, connected and manage their wellbeing.”
