Society Benefits & Support

Society Benefits

The more you put in, the more you get out!

 

Societies have exclusive access to a huge range of facilities, funding & resources. And the students that run them can decide how to make the society the best it can be, developing heaps of employability skills in turn. Societies simply couldn't run without the commitment and creativity of our committee members, so we want to make it as easy as possible for you to lead a successful society.

 

Support

As standard, all society committee members receive the following support from the Students' Union...

 

Training

All society committee members must complete a short compulsory training session before they can proceed, covering everything you'll need to know about your role. Once you've done this you'll unlock all the admin access you need!

 

Student Leader Toolkit

The Student Leader Toolkit has been designed to make it super easy for you to run your society. With everything stored in one place, it couldn't be easier to access anything you may require in your role as a committee member. Within the toolkit you'll find booking forms, tailored guidance, policies and so much more

 

Society Forums

Society Forums are interactive sessions that all Society Committee Members are invited to, with the condition that at least one student from each committee must attend. This is a great way to come together with other societies and to chat directly to the SU, sharing your experiences and ideas. We use your feedback to make changes or provide further support where needed. Society Forums can be the root of real change, so be sure to come along and have your say (as well as a free bite to eat and points for the Society Accreditation Scheme)!

 

In addition to all this, you can also contact the team at any time if you need additional support. Get in touch if you need anything!
