Hallam Union.

If you have had a look at the A-Z list and you haven’t seen the society for you, then don’t worry as you can always set up your own. Read the following information for 5 easy steps on how you go about creating a new society at Hallam Union.Step One - Download a NEW SOCIETY APPLICATION FORM now or pick up a form from the Activities Pod.
 
Step Two - Answer the questions on the form, fill in as much info that you think is relevant for the application and make sure all contact info on the form is correct as the Union may need to get in touch with you at any point of the ratification process.

 

Step Three - Once the form is filled send it back to r.h.clayden@shu.ac.uk to be submitted to the Societies Standing Committee to start the ratification process.

Step Four - I’m afraid the difficult part as once the application has been submitted it is a bit of a waiting game. The Societies Assistant will keep you updated with the ratification process.

Step Five - Once the society has been ratified its time to start recruiting members and having some fun with it!!
New Society Things You Need to Know!

You cannot set up a Society that already covers the subject/activity that is already covered by an existing society.

Remember Hallam Union is an equal opportunities organisation- your society must be accessible to every student at Hallam. Your application form will get passed to 3 different committees- try and make it as neat and legible as possible!
 
Societies must be run by Hallam students. You can only have members on your society committee that are members of Sheffield Hallam University.
