It's a special year for Student Hubs, as they look to celebrate their 15th birthday. As a charity, they have been creating impact since 2007 not only in their Hub locations of Bristol, Cambridge, London and Hampshire, but also in their delivery of training, webinars and support for lots of universities, students, and socially impactful organisations across their history and in 2022. To support their work, I am taking part in the 15 for Student Hubs Challenge, a physical 15 based activity to fundraise for their vital work in empowering the next generation and supporting community groups and universities to make an impact. The Challenge will be launching from March and taking place until the end of June. Fundraising can be challenging for many charities, and your donation will help to support the Student Hubs network, which makes their activities high quality, safe, accessible, and adaptable for the hundreds of individuals they engage through their support every year.

For my challenge I'll be swimming 15k because I'm better at swimming than I am at any other distance sport! Over 5 (maybe 6) swim sessions in May I'll be doing 600 laps, pushing myself maybe a little bit too far after not swimming over the winter - what a great way to get back into the routine. 

It's going to be a challenge for sure, but your support to the cause will help keep me going! 

As an organisation, it's been a honour to work at Student Hubs for the past 5 and a bit years, as well as being one of the many many students who benefited from their support whilst I was studying. I know first hand what it means when someone takes the time to donate to our work, share our story, and cheer us on. Every penny you share with us goes a long way to supporting us with our mission, creating positive change for local communities, and empowering the next generation of active citizens to be engaged for life.
