Charity and Social Events

The Students’ Union organises a variety of events during the year – from the Freshers’ Party in September/October to a Christmas Charity Event in December – and the Equality and Community Day and Leavers’ Ball, both usually held in June.

The SU plays a huge role in making the College a ‘supportive and caring community’ by getting students together, to have some fun and help raise funds for a range of worthwhile charities (including local, national and international causes).
