Events & Activities
*IMPORTANT INFORMATION* - IN-PERSON SESSIONS
In light of restrictions easing further from 17th May, we're incredibly happy to be a position to offer *in-person* GIAG sessions.
Please be aware that the safety of everyone attending an in-person session is of paramount importance to us in reducing the risk of transmission of COVID-19, as such you must adhere to the following guidelines:
Face-coverings MUST be worn upon arrival and during your session (excl. those with suitable exemptions).
Where a face-covering hinders your ability to do the activity (e.g. Yoga classes, Choir sessions), a face covering is not compulsory whilst partaking in the session; however, you must wear a face-covering upon arrival and adhere to 2m social distancing measures throughout.
You MUST adhere to 2m social distancing measures at all times
Please ensure you wash your hands regularly. Hand sanitising stations will be available upon entry and around the Students' Union
For contact tracing purposes, all attendees will be required to scan the Concourse QR code via the NHS COVID-19 app on entry
*If you, or someone you live with, has symptoms of COVID-19 (currently recognised as any of the following: a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, a loss of, or change to, their sense of smell or taste), please ensure you do not attend your session.*
check back in september for more giag sessions!
