Society Start-Up Essentials
Thinking about starting a new society? If you have been invited then this session is your first step!
Following your interest form submission, join Emily & Tiegan your Student Community Coordinators for an introductory session covering everything you need to know to get your society off the ground.
This will help you decide whether running a society is the right fit for you.
What we'll cover:
- The basics of how to run a society
- How to apply for grants
- How to submit an event application
- What is a risk assessment, and why it matters
As well as:
- The chance to ask any questions you may have
- Support and guidance as you begin the start-up process
This session is designed to give you a clear, practical overview, not to overwhelm you with everything at once.
A friendly introduction to committee life.

Photography and Filming at Events
It is likely that at Union events photography or filming will take place. At all ticketed events, by purchase of the ticket you agree that you are happy for any video footage, stills, or photographs taken during the event to be used on Union’s online platforms or in print to publicise the Union for commercial and fundraising purposes including, but not limited to, television broadcasts, advertising, publications, marketing material, personalised direct mail, and other documents that may be made available to the public.
In the case of non-ticketed events, your attendance acts as agreement to the above. If you do not wish to be filmed, the photographer/videographer should be informed at the start of the event.
If you do not want your image to be used by the Union, please let us know and we will remove it for you. To request the removal of your image and provide details of where your image is being used, click here .
