Drink, Drugs & Sausage Rolls

Drink, Drugs and Sausage Rolls will be off the menu for students this year – at least that’s if the Ulster GAA have their way!  The Association has re-launched its student Health and Wellness programme in conjunction with Squareball.com, with the aim of helping young people make the transition from home life to student life.

The campaign presents a range of health messages in a quirky and fun way to attract the attention of students.  Those attending Fresher Fayres across Campuses can pay a visit to the eye-catching Ulster GAA/Squareball stall and avail of materials which will help them live a healthy life while still having fun!

Ulster GAA’s Lifestyle & Wellbeing Manager Aileen Tohill said, “Leaflets including Drink; Drugs; Eat; Move and Stress carry factual health information on issues that most affect students, and are written in a language that students will enjoy.  There are also free wallplanners on offer which are useful to note exam dates and parties alike!

“We’re really excited about this year’s stall at all the University Freshers Fayres as not only will Ulster GAA be advising students to get clued in on good health, but students will also have the opportunity to stand out from their classmates, by winning some trendy Squareball merchandise.

“Ulster GAA’s ‘Drink, Drugs and Sausage Rolls’ Campaign is now in its third year and has proved hugely popular with students to date.  This year the content and materials have been revamped and it’s certain that this year’s ‘Freshers’ will enjoy a healthier student life as a result.”

Niall Laird from Squareball.com said, “Squareball is delighted to be the main sponsor of this worthy student campaign.  Very often first year students are just looking forward to starting their university life and living an independent life.  Unfortunately for far too many that independent life can include things that aren’t good for students’ health and wellbeing.  I hope students across the Universities listen to their GAA peers and County role models and choose a healthy lifestyle.  Squareball is proud to be associated with this quirky but important campaign.”
