Here are the steps for developing a Union recognised campaign: 

• Figure out what the issue is and fill out our Campaign Proposal Form.  
• We'll help you conduct research into the issue, whether that's through the course rep system, a survey or focus groups
• We'll support you in taking it to the right people who can make change happen - whether that's a University meeting, a staff member or Union Council 

Here's what we can support you with when developing a campaign:  

• Access to SMSU campaigning funds 
• Access to campaigning knowledge to help you reach the right people, faster  
• Access to SMSU's social media to help promote your campaign and spread the word 
• Use of SMSU's logo 

Sabbatical officer connections and lobbying power  

National network of Students' Unions and sabbatical officers, to help you make change on a national scale. 

Campaigns could be on anything that matters to you, but here are some ideas of campaigns we've worked on in the past or are developing at the moment:  

• Zero-tolerance policy to sexual harassment and assault  
• Increase the availabilty of learning resources  
• Scrap the dyslexia diagnosis fee  
• Grow sustainability initiatives including creating a Simmie Swapshop  
• Ramadan Unity Fast
