► Benefits of registering a Society
So why register with UELSU?
Every year we have different students at the university who have different interests, hobbies, abilities and things to share. That is why every SOCIETY needs to set up every year. This includes those that have been around before, as well as new ones.
Getting any social activity up and running should involve finding a location and setting meeting times. You may need to advertise yourself to new people, as well as keeping in contact with current members. You may want to contact similar groups elsewhere, or even go and visit them.
Well, these are the things we at UELSU are here to help with!
What we do for our societies:
- Fulltime staff member dedicated to student societies and activities
- Office facilities: room booking, photocopier, fax, phones
- Posters and promotion
- Dedicated web-page(s) for each society
- Financial support and management
- Allocated budget for each activity
- Ability to register as a community volunteer, with additional benefits
- Awards and recognition
- Training provided for society leaders
- Contacts across the area
- Insurance and safety assistance
- Cheap transport hire
- Advice, support and ideas
In return, we expect you to
