Our year-round staff programme

In addition to our memberships, we offer all University of Sussex staff a dedicated year round Staff Programme of events, activities and off-campus discounts and opportunities. The programme includes staff-only classes and courses, drop-in social activities and annual events.

As staff begin to return to campus, some team building time can be a great way to reconnect with colleagues and meet new members of the team - who may have started during the pandemic and never met in person! We can organise fun and informal wellbeing activities for teams and departments using our indoor and outdoor facilities - just get in touch to find out more.
