All proceeds go to charity!
Have you ever sat and wondered how cool it would be to have a custom Bristol jibbit on your crocs?
No, neither had we, but our crocs-obesessed Merch Rep did, and she executed!
They've got sport mode for a reason - Crocs are the unofficial athelete shoe of Bristol campus (whether thats outside marathons, or movie marathons!).
For less than the price of a Bristol pint, you can show your support for disability friendy sport and young people's mental health, AND have some of the coolest crocs on campus this term.
There are only 250 of these jibbits available (each one is hand-numbered), and there won't be a second release. All proceeds go to charity - we can't think of a better stocking filler or Secret Santa!
An Exclusive Collaboration
This year, Bristol Spartans is supporting two charities, both of whom are very close to our hearts.
Every single penny of profit from the sale of these jibbits will be split between these charities, and you can read more about their work below.
Papyrus
Papyrus supports the mental health of young people, with confidential advice and support.
They help both those who are struggling, and those who are supporting someone who is struggling (including health professionals).
More information can be found on their website
You can contact Papyrus 24/7 on:
0800 068 4141 (Call) or 07860 039967 (Text)
Nova Sports
Nova run inclusive Sports sessions for young people and adults living in the Bristol/Bath area. These are life-changing for those who attend, providing access to phyisical activity and fun to both disabled and non-disabled people.
Sessions are not segregated, allowing siblings and families to enjoy time together, and building bonds across diverse communities.
Currently they offer a variety of activities: Wheelchair Basketball, Hydro/Swimming club, Powerchair Football, Multi-sports club, Frame running, and Boccia.
Nova currently runs a wheelchair basketball session at UWE Campus on Thursdays 19.30-20.30. Its free to turn up and play, for anyone in the Bristol/Bath area!
Anna, (Merch Rep and former W1s Captain 2019-2022) has been playing wheelchair basketball with Nova whilst injured. In May, the Nova kids team let some of our captains join their training session to show them the ropes. We had SO much fun - we are currently working on a campaign for the SU to bring some sessions to Clifton!
We are working to build a closer relationship with Nova and to support them with volunteering and donations. If you are a member of our club and this interests you, please get in touch! Otherwise, if interested in volunteering, please contact Nova directly.
