What is 'Adopt a Society'?

The Students' Union is thrilled to announce our Adopt a Society programme! This initiative gives students the opportunity to help revive our currently inactive societies. You will development great skills including:

  • Leadership
  • Project management
  • Event management
  • Team working
  • Budget management
  • And so many more!

 

When you adopt previous inactive societies you gain any funds that they used to have along with their euipment, website, and brand. You will be ahead of teh game. As a society committee member, you will get access to exclusive committee training hosted by the Students' Union to make sure you are fully prepared. You'll also get access to other skills and employability-based training sessions, as well as a host of EDI sessions that we put on.
