Raise funds for charity all year and win £500!
Charity Year is a fundraising competition for societies run by the Societies Exec committee.
All through the 2024/25 academic year, we're asking societies to raise money for a charity or charities of your choice.
You can run fundraising initiatives, host a fundraising event or run a challenge for your members ‐ the details are entirely up to you!
We honour the life of Astrid, a dedicated student volunteer and much-loved member of our Strath Union community who sadly died in an accident in 2019. Throughout her time at Strathclyde, Astrid was a dedicated society volunteer who made a huge impact through her charitable work.
If your society raises the most out of all entrants by December 18th, you'll win £250
If your society raises the most out of all entrants by March 25th, you'll win £250.
This category rewards collaboration between 2 or more societies. If your entry is judged the best out of all the entrants, you'll win £500 (split equally between all invovled societies)
Remember to use #CharityYear on Instagram to showcase all the fantastic events and work you are putting in over the year!
**As well as the prize money, the winners of each category will recieve an award presented at the STAR Awards 2024.
