What is Solent Health Spark?Feeling good, looking great, functioning well, being happy and getting the most out of your
life today and in the future – good health is a crucial resource for all of these things. Solent
Health Spark is here to help create supportive environments for health, enabling staff and
students to take more control over and improve their health and well-being.
Creating a healthier UniversityWe recognise that the settings in which people live their day-to-day lives are crucially important in determining their health & well-being. Here’s how we can help you take more control over and improve your health.
Move More, Work and Play Better!Modern society forces us to sit for prolonged periods which can be bad for our health. We provide solutions to help you avoid long periods of sitting by supporting you to walk, cycle and use the stairs instead of the lifts. By moving more each day you can make a big difference to how many calories you burn and your overall health. Move more in the day by taking part in our Pedometer Challenges, stair climbing competitions, active sitting courses and other opportunities to get staff and students moving as much as possible during their busy day!
Health ChecksSolent Health Spark makes it easy for you to fi nd out some of your key health indicators on campus. Look out for our convenient drop-in Body MOTs (body fat, muscle mass, metabolic age…), blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose and bone density checks.
Five Ways to Well-being: Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning & GiveFind out how we create opportunities to help you do more of the ‘fi ve ways to well-being’ activities, which focus on evidence based techniques that are easy to do and suitable for all ages and life circumstances. These activities will help you look after your mental well-being so you can get the most out of life and be Mind Fit!
Keep learning for better healthLearning is one of the fi ve ways to improve your well-being. We provide a range of workshops and short courses to give you the skills and confi dence to improve your health. We offer one-to-one healthy lifestyle advice and feel good programmes, personal training, massage programmes and courses including back care, positive psychology, mindfulness and nutrition.
Fuel up, feel good, look great! – Healthy Eating on CampusWhat we eat makes a big difference to how we feel and look and how much energy we have for a productive day or big night out. Solent Health Spark has joined forces with the Student Union to offer you great value healthy food choices that help you to look good, feel great, power you through the day and give you enough “oomph” for nights out! Just look for the Health Spark green label!

What people are saying about Solent Health Spark
Health Spark is one of the best initiatives that Solent has come up with, there are so many opportunities to get healthier, it’s brilliant. It has helped me to change my lifestyle and is a really important benefi t of working at Solent, so please don’t stop!
It sends a positive message to staff and students that the University is committed to their health and importantly it’s about prevention, helping you to stay healthier with activities and habits that are easy to do. It certainly makes health fun. Thank you Health Spark!
Health Spark has made me aware of my levels of activity better than anything else I have encountered! I’ve lost over a stone in weight and improved my level of fi tness. I am now motivated to do more exercise and to improve my health.
I particularly welcome all the preventative health checks, fi nding out about conditions before it’s too late. The Health Spark programme makes me very glad to work for an organisation that takes the well-being of its staff and students seriously and is willing to put its money where its mouth is. It really does make such a difference!
