BGU present Students’ Union with grant for sports and societies
A grant for £5,000 has been awarded from Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU Lincoln) to the Students’ Union (SU) to support their clubs and societies. Clubs and societies can apply for funding to cover their running costs such as equipment, kits, travel, and enhance the experience for their members. The SU currently have sports teams for badminton, cheer , dance, men’s football, men’s and women’s rugby and netball, and four societies for creative writing, gaming, performing arts and psychology, although more societies can be adopted if enough interest is shown in running them. The cheque-giving ceremony was attended by Dr Rob Boast, representing BGU Lincoln, and Erin Bell, Kaylee Hempenstall, Michael O'Donoghue and Jacquie Hough from the Students’ Union. Dr Rob Boast, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Students), said: “I’m delighted to present the Student’s Union with £5,000 on behalf of the University to support their sports clubs and societies.” “The Students’ Union is run by the students, for students and the University recognises that they play an important role in enhancing the experience of those studying here, and I hope this grant allows SU clubs and societies to thrive.” Erin Bell, Students’ Union President, said: “Sports clubs and societies are a key part of the SU and provide a range of exciting events and opportunities for students, in addition to their course.” “Sports and societies provide a fun way for students to meet new people, learn or improve new skills and the chance to take part in physical team activities at all levels, from beginners to competition standards.” “This grant will allow our clubs and societies to expand their offering further and only enhances what they can provide to students. If you are interested in learning more about any aspects of the Student’s Union, please pop in and chat to one of the team.” Find out more about the Students’ Union, their clubs and societies and additional student advice and support at: www.bgsu.co.uk -

Dr Sunny Dhillon
Prior to joining the Education Studies team in November 2021, Sunny spent five years as a learning developer at the University of Leeds, as well as at BGU, where he also worked as a Visiting Tutor in the Theology, Ethics and Society department. Sunny conducted his doctoral research through the Philosophy department at Cardiff University, focussing on the concept of utopia through the works of Friedrich W. Nietzsche, Ernst Bloch and Theodor W. Adorno. Sunny’s research interests include Critical Theory (The Frankfurt School), Nietzsche, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Utopia and Philosophy of Education. His current research projects critically explore education as ontotheological principle, and student engagement from the perspective of academics in the social sciences who often experience a ‘disclosure dilemma’ when deciding what perspectives to share with students across levels of HE.
