Make your mark!

When you are a student it is a perfect time to make your views heard and share them with others.

Why not run a stall, put on an awareness raising event, do some fundraising for a cause you feel passionate about or join an SU campaigning society.

Future campaigns could be bigger and better with your help! We already have some ideas and we would like to hear yours too!

Current Campaigns

The following campaigns need volunteers and leaders to take them forward.

Student Stop AIDS
The Student Stop AIDS Campaign is made up of students at universities and colleges across the country who believe that the world's response to the HIV pandemic is insufficient and unacceptable. Why not set up your own campaign or even set up a Stop AIDs Society? For the past two years students have led campaigns on campus for World AIDS Day on 1st December.

• There is also the opportunity to be a Development Trainer in schools taking the message out to young people in the community about HIV/AIDS issues and helping them to take action.

Student Union Societies involved in Campaigning
