Walk, run, roll, cycle, swim, climb...the posibilities are endless!
The Step Up For OUSET campaign began in 2023 and was an initiative to raise awareness and funds for the Open University Student Educational Trust (OUSET). OUSET is funded through legacies, individual giving and donations, awarding on average £100,000 worth of grants per year to Open University students. Anyone could get involved whether that be walking, running, cycling, rolling, climbing or swimming, the posibilites were endless.
Across three months 161 participants raised a total of £305 and covered a total of 18,076km.
Step Up For OUSET will return in the future and we hope you will get involved!
