Campaigns

Join forces with other students to raise awareness about injustices, rally around a social cause, or make an impact at an institutional level. Many voices are louder than one.

Run a campaign

Got an idea for a campaign, but not sure where to start? Let us know and we can support you with everything from organising the campaign to lobbying the University. We want campaigns to be student-centred and student-led, and that starts with you.

From September 2024, we'll be opening our new student-led campaigns hub with training, rentable resources, and funding opportunities!

Email us at campaigns@shu.ac.uk to get things started.
