In today's demanding university environment, where students are required to juggle academics, social life, finances, and the stress of being away from family, mental health support has never been more crucial.

The simple act of playing darts can be remarkably beneficial for mental wellbeing. It offers a chance to relax, focus, and engage in a social yet low-pressure activity. Dart boards have been a staple in many social settings for years, and they have recently gained popularity as one of the fastest-growing sports in the UK.

Playing darts offers multiple benefits. It's inclusive, allowing people of all genders and ages to participate. It doesn’t necessitate a high investment, as a quality set of darts costs approximately £15, making it accessible to everyone regardless of their financial situation. Unlike similar pub games such as pool, darts provides an opportunity for solo play, which is ideal for individuals seeking some time to clear their heads and de-stress.

The removal of dart boards from SU Bath has robbed students of this simple but effective means of mental relaxation and communal bonding. Putting them back up will not only allow students an outlet for stress relief but also foster a spirit of camaraderie and inclusion within the student body.

Let us take a step towards promoting mental health awareness and inclusive sports at SU Bath by bringing dart boards back to their rightful place. Please sign this petition to show your support for a healthier, happier university community.

Join us in this mission; every signature counts for the future of student wellbeing at SU Bath.
