BRIT
PARTNERS
We believe a collaborative approach is vital to support and improve young adult mental health and fitness throughout the UK.
EDUCATION PARTNERS
To deliver our aim of supporting Student and Young Adult Mental Health, Fitness & Wellbeing and to reduce the feelings of isolation and loneliness, we need every University and College Leadership Team and every Student Union in the UK to invite and encourage their students, and staff, to take part in the BRIT 2021 Challenge.
The success of The BRIT 2021 Challenge requires a whole university, college and community approach to Young Adult Mental Health.
To invite and encourage their members to champion The British Inspiration Trust’s aims and the BRIT 2021 Challenge, we are delighted to have partnered with Education Governing Bodies who share our vision.
Their Chief Executives & Chairs will ensure our invitations are sent out to every University Vice-Chancellor and College Principal in the UK so that the leadership of each institution champions, promotes and participates in our campaign and event.
The NUS are also partnering with us and will encourage every Student Union to enter teams for our BRIT 2021 Challenge in order to fundraise, maximise student participation and champion both inclusivity and adaptive sport involvement.
SPORTING PARTNER
ORGANISATIONS
Our aim of delivering inspiration to students and young adults at universities and colleges is through the support of British Sporting Icons acting as British Inspiration Trust (BRIT) Ambassadors.
We need Sporting Governing Bodies to encourage their Olympians, Paralympians, Invictus Athletes, Iconic Personalities from a wide range of Sports, Adventurers and Explorers to join us as Ambassadors and visit universities and colleges throughout the BRIT 2021 Challenge.
These inspirational Ambassadors will inform us of which university or college they will visit. We will then introduce the Ambassador to the institution’s BRIT 2021 Challenge Point of Contact. There are approximately 450 universities and colleges in the UK, so partnering with Sporting Governing Bodies will assist in encouraging their current and retired sports personalities to join us. We will also ask the institutions themselves to encourage their sporting alumni to take part as Ambassadors.
