The Sports Executive is a volunteer group that works closely with the VP Sports! Find out more about the Sports Executive and how you can get involved!
The Sports Executive Committee is a group of student volunteers who work alongside The Students’ Union Vice President Sports and Health. Together, they help shape the direction of student sport at UWE, ensuring every athlete has a voice in decisions that affect them.
