Return to Making Change

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.

Sheffield Students' Assembly

The Sheffield Students' Assembly is a dynamic and interactive event providing students with a unique opportunity to engage directly with their members of parliament to address pressing student issues. The next event is on Thursday 8th May and this time we'll be hosting Mayor Oliver Coppard at Sheffield Town Hall to talk all things buses, nighttime safety, cost of living and student belonging.

Grab your free ticket to get involved.
