We are delighted that sportscotland are supporting The British Inspiration Trust (BRIT) and championing the BRIT Challenge.
Stewart Harris, Chief Executive of sportscotland, and his team are encouraging every Scottish university and college to enter teams in the BRIT Challenge in order to support and improve student and young adult mental health.
“At sportscotland, our vision is for an active Scotland where everyone benefits from sport. We want to help the people of Scotland get the most from the sporting system.
We are delighted to support the British Inspiration Trust’s inspiring annual BRIT Challenge initiative to improve young adult mental health and fitness. I am pleased that so many Scottish universities and colleges have entered teams in previous BRIT Challenges and hope that the annual BRIT Challenge will become a firm fixture in the Scottish Higher and Further Education sectors’ Calendar of Events.
This is an inclusive and accessible event that has the potential to engage students and staff throughout Scotland and improve their mental health and fitness. For maximum impact and success, I would encourage all our universities and colleges to champion this opportunity, enter teams and encourage student participation.”
