On Thursday 26 May, a team of Kent Union staff and student officers cycled over 200 miles to Paris, to raise money for the Access to Activities Fund.

The fund allows the Union to support University of Kent students from disadvantaged backgrounds, or who have a disability, enabling them to participate in their sports clubs, societies and wider student activities.

Kent Union volunteers and the Activities team do some fantastic work, and the fund aims to allow as many people as possible to have access to these opportunities.

In the lead up, many members of staff also took part in the 24 Hour Cycle Challenge, pedalling through the day and night, again, to support the fund.

The final total raised for the Access to Activities scheme was £4189.05, which will enable Kent Union to support many more students this year.

Congratulations to everybody who took part and a huge thank you to everyone who supported the event.
