Committee Resources
Running a Club, Society, SLS or Association can be a scary thing, and often a very daunting challenge. But fear not; support is at hand to help you manage and run successful Student Groups.
This is your online resource on everything you may need to know, from how to bank a cheque to publicising that big event. If you do need more information, some help or just someone to chat an idea through with then please do give one of the Activities Team an email, call, tweet or Facebook message.
