Keele Key Fund Update | 25
Wheelchair accessible sports
“ Thank you so much to everyone involved with donating to the Keele Key Fund . My project […] will suddenly make 7 AU clubs and the dance societies here at Keele accessible to those who have difficulties in standing or have mobility issues . It will also help to combat the loneliness and isolation felt by disabled students who often don ’ t feel they are able to get involved in such activities . Myself and other disabled students here at Keele can ’ t wait for the wheelchairs to arrive and for us to be able to use them in Covid safe sports spaces .”

“ These initiatives will help to provide students with some additional resources for self-care , support and help the development of new skills .
“ The first initiative builds on the success of our ‘ Be Active Boxes ’ and will offer new and widerranging wellbeing-related materials for students living on campus or locally to support with being mindful , being creative or connecting with peers .
“ The second initiative will develop a series of informative and helpful resources for students covering all aspects of student life from mental wellbeing through to budgeting and council tax .
“ We ’ re really excited to get started on the development of these initiatives and we are very grateful for the generosity of the Keele alumni , without whom these initiatives would not be possible .”
