Committee Admin and Meetings

Running a society takes a lot of planning and organisation, as well as meetings with your committee members to plan future events.

Committee Responsibilities

Student groups, academic societies and sports clubs are at the centre of most people's university experience. All student groups at GSU are run but student volunteers are called committee members.

Committee Wellbeing

Running a student committee can be really stressful, especially alongside your studies and other commitments. We understand that tasks and meetings might be piling up, so we want to make sure you don't reach burn out.

Completing Core Documents

As student groups are a legal part of GSU, it is a requirement that student groups complete and submit several official documents each year to ensure that we remain legally compliant.

Completing Risk Assessments

It is essential that we work with our Sports clubs and Societies to make sure all activities are risk assessed thoroughly, and that these risk assessments are followed accordingly.

Creating the Right Membership

When creating your student group, deciding on the membership price is probably one of the first things you think about!

Disclosing harassment or misconduct - Report + Support

Report + Support is the University’s online platform where students can disclose how they have been affected by different forms of harassment, including bullying, discrimination, hate incident/crime, and sexual misconduct.

Electing your Leaders

As a democratic organisation all of our committee members must be elected or co-opted to their roles by the members in their group. All elections must be free and fair.

External Speakers

If your event is going to feature an external speaker, then you will need to make sure you complete the external speaker request form on the Activities Dashboard (found within the 'New Activity' forms).

Fundraising (for your group or for charity)

Lots of groups fundraise to support charities and causes big and small, or to raise an income to support student group activity.
