We're offering the opportunity for student groups including societies, clubs, networks & course groups to apply for a campaign bursary. We've got £1000 in the pot, however £500 is the max that can be awarded to any group. The campaign’s purpose & rationale should be focused on improving or supporting the mental health & wellbeing of a student group or more generically.
To be awarded a bursary, student groups must send in a bid that details:
• The activity you are undertaking.
• The impact you are trying to achieve with your campaign;
• And outlining how you will spend any funds awarded.
If funds are allocated, the students who have placed the bid enter into an agreement with UUSU to deliver the activity as outlined. In campaign planning some elements may shift and expectations adjusted, however there is an expectation that the funds will be used to improve or support the mental health and wellbeing of the target group outlined in the original bid.
