Feel Good
Feel Good runs events throughout the year to help you relax, try something new, get active and eat well.
What is Feel Good?
The Feel Good programme is a campaign focusing on healthy behaviours at UWE Bristol. We believe in empowering you to make healthy choices and run events throughout the year to help you relax, try something new, get active and eat well.
Throughout the year, we run a series of free Feel Good events in partnership with The Students' Union at UWE and UWE Bristol stakeholders. Keep an eye our for Feel Good events happening both in person and online throughout the year.

University life can be busy, and when we are busy it can feel like we don’t have time to relax and take care of ourselves. But, it is really important to take some time to focus on your wellbeing.
You can join us at our relaxing events to de-stress and unwind.
