The SRC oversees the operation of nearly 80 different Clubs and Societies which operate under their auspices. Each society has its own elected leadership committee (chair, treasurer, secretary etc) and is responsible for organising their own functions, and monitoring their budgets These societies include cultural interest groups (e.g. debating, drumming, poetry), religious societies, political and awareness-raising groups, and environmental clubs. Students are encouraged to attend the SRC’s Societies Evening during Orientation Week in order to get more information about what is on offer. All societies charge an annual membership fee.
