At our Annual Members' Meeting (AMM) on 16 April 2026, Hallam students came together and voted in favour of maintaining our partnerships with several external organisations. These affiliations are incredibly important - they help us back you up with expert advice, fight for student rights nationally, and make life at Hallam the best it can be.
To keep things completely transparent (and to comply with the Education Act 1994), we publish a breakdown of who we're affiliated with, alongside the annual subscription fees. Because this is funded by your SU, you have a right to see exactly where the money goes!
