Start or support a society
- Tell UKMCSA which society interests you, or suggest a new one.
- Discuss membership and committee arrangements; current Hub guidance refers to at least 10 interested students and a committee of three.
- Agree an inclusive activity plan and seek any required approval.
- Ask UKMCSA about possible mini-grant support. Funding is subject to approval and available resources.
Societies are expected to plan regular activities; the proposed founding programme suggests at least one activity a month where practical and approved.
Student leadership and the Sustainable Development Goals
Explore practical ways student representatives, ambassadors and societies can connect inclusive activities with the UN’s 17 global goals.
Explore the SDGsPlanning activities and applying for support
Societies are supported through the Students’ Association. Committees are encouraged to prepare an activity plan for the academic year, setting out their proposed events, intended benefits for students and the resources required.
Where financial support is needed, a society may submit a mini-grant request with an itemised budget linked to its academic-year plan. Requests are considered through the Association’s applicable approval and funding arrangements. An application does not guarantee an award, and no expenditure should be committed before authorisation.
