The sports identified in green are Saints Focus Sports. The Focus Sports programme is funded by a dedicated University grant which is supplemented by alumni giving and student fundraising. The programme develops clubs and supports excellence in three areas: Participation, Performance and Outreach – clubs are given specific resources to increase the number of students taking part and to support and develop their competitive successes. In turn they take part in various activities which develop and maintain links with the community and also support charities through fundraising and other activities.
