Athletic Union

The Athletic Union is the body that supports all sporting activity at Cardiff University Students' Union.  We support students that run over 60 sports clubs including individual and team sports, outdoor and water sports and martial arts.  There really is something for everyone whether you are to keep fit, compete, learn something new, or just enjoy yourself.  The AU, also runs a number of recreational sporting leagues, including 11-a-side and 7-a -side football and netball, providing weekly fixtures for teams from your course, hall, or society.

Joining a club in the Athletic Union is what made my university experience! I’ve kept fit, been involved in national sporting competitions, but best of all I’ve made life long friends and have unforgettable memories

Volunteering

Student Volunteering Cardiff is one of the U.K’s largest student led volunteering organisations. We currently have approximately 1000 volunteers working on more than 30 projects with disadvantaged and vulnerable people in Cardiff.

Our projects include working with children and young people with a disability, working in a homeless drop in centre, helping people with mental health problems, and working with adults with learning disabilities in a community garden.

The projects are rewarding so it’s fun and fulfilling. You will meet loads of new people through our regular socials such as pub quizzes and a Winter Ball. Through the experience you will gain valuable skills which will increase your chances of gaining employment or going onto postgraduate study.

You can choose to volunteer for as few or as many hours as you can spare. With projects having one-off, weekly and monthly commitments we can find the placement to suit you.
