Neon Nights returns to Leeds Beckett University

From Tuesday 20 March students can get involved in amazing Neon Nights themed sports events hosted by Sport & Active Lifestyles.

Below is everything you need to know about what we've got on for you to get involved with.

What is Neon Nights?

Neon Nights is a series of glow in the dark sports & fitness events/activities that takes place under Ultra-Violet lights

All participants wear neon clothing and use neon equipment to create one of the most fun and unique activities for Leeds Beckett Students.

Neon Nights also helps to support this year's chosen charity - selected by our Athletic Union club members - State of Mind.

State of Mind is a charity that harnesses the power of sport to promote positive mental health among our sportsmen and women, fans and wider communities, and ultimately to prevent suicide.

State of Mind also help raise the awareness of the issues surrounding mental health and well being and deliver education on the subject to all levels of sport, business, education and community groups.
