Sports clubs and societies can have a huge impact on your student experience. They bring life to campus, give you the opportunity to meet amazing people, and provide a balance with academic work that can help with your studies.
Each year, some of our groups don’t manage to elect a committee. This means there is no one to lead the group, run activity, or organise opportunities. These groups get moved into our Lead a Group programme. The groups are fully set up, often with money in their accounts, ready for students to come along, pick them up, and start running them.
So why not start running one of these groups today! You can do this in just 3 easy steps!
1. Have a look at what groups are currently available under Lead a Group (listed below).
2. Find 2 students to take on the leadership committee roles with you.
3. Submit the Lead a Group form, making sure to attach a first draft of a general risk assessment, and a budget forecast sheet.
And that’s it!! A member of the Student Opportunities Team will then be in touch with you to finalise set up. This will include a mandatory committee training session, getting you access to the Teams Channel, and registering you as an official committee member 😊
We can’t wait to see you take these groups from dormant to dazzling!
