What is Empower?

The Empower campaign is for all women, trans and non-binary identifying students at the University of Nottingham.

Supported by Official Empower partners Grace and Green and PlayerLayer, we aim to create a dynamic and welcoming community where you can try something different, meet new people and get active.

We're running a whole week of Empower events during October 2025 - all completely free-of-charge.
