Funding is provided to affiliated societies from the Students' Association in the following ways:

Funding League

This is funding which is distributed automatically at the beginning of every academic year, each society is judged based on how well they performed the previous academic year in the following areas:

1st Registered for the coming year by the deadline

4th Evidence of Self Funding

5th  At least 3 events created on the Students’ Association website

Societies will receieve the maximum amount available by performing well in each of these areas, the actual figure of funding changes each year and is dependant on the number of societies and overall budget. 

Dragons' Den

The Dragons’ Den fund is a pot of money for societies to apply for, this is for a specific event or product the society currently requires. There is an initial application and then a presentation to societies council.
