Staff Sport (Badminton)

19 August

• For Staff
• Sport

Staff and doctoral researchers who currently participate in, have previously participated in, or would be interested in participating in staff sport are invited to support a petition requesting reconsideration of the decision to discontinue the Staff Sport badminton sessions from September 2026.

For more than 25 years, these sessions have provided opportunities for physical activity, wellbeing, social connection and inclusion across the University community.

The petition requests that the decision be reconsidered and that alternative options, including participant-funded and staff-led models, are explored before the sessions end.

The petition has already attracted 63 signatures from members of the University community.

If you would like to add your support before the petition is submitted, please sign via the online form.
