Get Involved with Brighton SU

Brighton SU is run by students, for students. The principle of student representation is the life blood of the Union. From Course Reps to the Union President, Brighton SU strives to ensure students have a voice at all levels in the University. Brighton SU has annual budgets in the region of £1,000,000 (from block grants and trading) and access to £200,000 of student tuition fees to be spent on projects that enhance the lives of students.
Brighton SU actively encourages all students to get involved with our activities. The list below gives you an idea about some of the work we do and how you can get involved in the students' union

VOLUNTEERING - Peer2Pier

The peer2pier volunteer scheme is a fresh opportunity for you to get directly involved in exciting student wellbeing campaigns, events and projects; in other words campaigns by students for students!

There will be a wide range of different campaigns throughout the terms to take part in, or even better, maybe you have an idea for a campaign you would like to run? We welcome all ideas so please email us and we will get straight back to you.

Why volunteer?
Volunteering is so much more than just standing around handing out flyers – with us you get a chance to be part of, form and steer the student wellbeing campaigns! More than that, you get the chance to meet lovely likeminded fellow volunteers, earn some CPD credits and add some great skills and experiences to your CV including project management skills, interpersonal skills, communication skills… well the list is endless!
