Staff and students’ flowers turn university garden into a colourful oasis of calm
Towards the end of autumn, staff and students at Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) came together for a ‘Blooming Marvellous’ afternoon of green-fingered fun. Devised in partnership between BGU’s CELT and Chaplaincy teams the ‘Blooming Marvellous’ event encouraged the BGU community to celebrate positive change and growth by providing them with the opportunity to plant bulbs in the University’s Peace Garden. With spring in full swing and summer around the corner the Peace Garden has now burst into life, becoming an oasis of colour in the heart of campus, and the patient planters can now see the results of their efforts. Claire Thomson, Head of the Centre for Enhancement in Learning and Teaching (CELT), was delighted for everyone involved that their hard work was now providing such a positive environment for the whole university: “Not only have our staff and students transformed the Peace Garden into a beautiful and tranquil place to relax, they have also created a symbol of their own growth, transition, and hope. Hopefully now, whenever they’re looking for that extra little push, they’ll be able to look on this gorgeous garden to feel inspired.” You can keep up to date with all the upcoming events designed to support and inspire our students and staff on our news and events pages. -

Evaluation of the impact of the Carers Quality Award on staff and students at Bishop Grosseteste University
We are seeking the views of BGU students and staff to help evaluate the impact of the Carers Quality Award on staff and students at Bishop Grosseteste University. The aim of this study is to explore staff and student perspectives of the impact of the Carers Quality Award across the institution. This is alongside the aim to ascertain whether those not with caring responsibilities have an awareness of the Award and its purposes. We seek to better understand how impactful the Award is on carers (staff and students), along with those who are not carers, and whether they consider the Award has made a difference to them. We are also seeking volunteers from the staff and students at BGU who are willing to take part in some interviews. Please contact Leanne Mchugh (leanne.mchugh@bishopg.ac.uk) for further details. -
Lecturer Shares Expertise and personal experience at County Council Care and Community Staff Training Event
Leanne McHugh, Lecturer in Health & Social Care at Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU), was invited to be a guest speaker at the “carers and our statutory responsibilities towards them” training event delivered to Lincolnshire County Council Adult Care and Community staff. In addition to her academic expertise, Leanne is also a carer herself, and was able to share her personal expertise as part of the training.: “My contribution was to share my personal lived experience as my husband’s carer. It was also a great opportunity to promote the carers community at BGU. I discussed our ongoing work including designing and implementing a platform to share the Carers Passports, our Carers Café’s, the procedures that HR have been developing along with the services of our Student Advice team and their role in supporting carers. As I have previously been with a different organisation, I was able to compare and contrast how the measures in place at BGU had ensured that my career was progressing alongside my carer’s role. It was fantastic to be able to share our efforts with partner agencies, marking us out as a role model, showcasing what good support for carers looks like through our carer’s community.” The training event also included contributions from Carers First, Young Carers Services and Every-one.
