Stop the imminent closure of Brighton Health Club

We are asking Professor Humphris to intervene in order to stop the imminent closure of Brighton Health Club. Brighton University has decided to pull the plug on this facility, currently managed by Virgin Active. For over 20 years the club has been a great social as well as well as mental and physical health wellbeing facility.

Why is this important?

Several thousand members and around 100 staff have been left in shock when being informed that on the 21st November the club will close.

The University is behaving with complete disregard to the impact their action is having on the club community and the staff who work there.

Despite professing to value the community and championing mental health causes, the University’s behaviour is unethical and reprehensible.

We ask the university to reconsider its decision and by keeping the facility open and thus make a contribution to the well-being of several thousand people.

Mahatma Gandhi said, ‘Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony.’

Dear Professor Humphris we would love you to be happy!
