It's absolutely fantastic that you want to make a difference in your student community. You have to be the change you want to see and the bravery to stand up and make that change is something we respect and value immensely.
It really is incredibly easy to get started and we're here to support you all the way! We've put together this quick guide of some of the first steps as a general overview.
​
Whether your project is big or small, starting it right and with confidence can make all the difference. Good Luck!
​
We look forward to hearing all about it!
You're our Hero!!!
Starting a Project?
Write it down
​
It may seem obvious, but you need to know exactly what it is your trying to do and why.
​
Talk to your Students Union/Guild or University
​
In all honesty, they are there to help you (it's their job) and will know the system your dealing with inside and out. There's usually a person or team who will be your point of contact, so identify who this is. You may find its a University matter not a Union/Guild one (Their overlap can get complicated).
Talk to your fellow Students
​
The most important thing is that what you create is something students want and will use. Understanding their ideas and needs will be a crucial part of supporting your project and keeping it going after you've graduated.
​
Let us know
​
We are a resource for you. We can put you in touch with students who have been through this process before and are all too familiar with the challenges and hurdles that seem to come from out of no-where. We are passionate to prevent other students from struggling in the same way we did and hope to support your project in any way we can. Even if you decide you don't need us, we would love to hear about and celibate your project.
