Resource Library
Welcome Committee Members
Here we have created a library of resources, especially for you. Throughout your time as a committee member you will need the documents available here to assist your society’s activity on a regular basis. So, without further ado, take a look at the selection below and download whatever your society currently needs!
The best way to get advice about running a successful society is by attending Committee Training. Email your SU at su.activities@uos.ac.uk for more info!
This is where you'll find EVERYTHING you need to know about running and participating in student activities.
Outlines the principles, procedures and aims your society will follow throughout the academic year. This ensures your society outlines and upholds the good practice which is expected from members at all times. All societies must adopt one and revise their constitution at each AGM.
This is a document to collate all of the member's thoughts and ideas about the direction of the society. You'll be able to set targets and review your progress here. You should complete a development plan at the start and end of every academic year (during your AGM/EGM) and ensure all members have contributed.
You must complete a risk assessment form for every event your society puts on and send it to su.activities@uos.ac.uk at least two weeks before your event. If, for whatever reason, you are unable to complete a risk assessment, you must email su.activities@uos.ac.uk.
You must fill out an event form if you’re inviting non UOS student/staff to your event or if your event has over 15 people attending. This must be sent to su.activities@uos.ac.uk at least two weeks before the event.
This is where you can apply to start a new society! Make sure you've read our Activities Guidebook first though!
This form is for anyone wanting to re-activate a dissolved society or wanting to rearrange the roles of the committee (e.g. swap positions or introduce a new member). Once filled, send to su.activities@uos.ac.uk
This is where you will spend as a society, and then apply to get this reimbursed
This is where you'll request the SU to make a purchase on your behalf
