Welcome to Healthy Week 2012
Healthy week is a University of Leeds and LUU initiative, aiming to encourage both staff and students to discover new ways of improving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and state of mind.
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." World Health Organisation (WHO)
Healthy week is now in its seventh year, and every year the number of activities has grown. This has been matched by more staff and students taking part every year.

How to book
