The Community Action Forum is a group of socially minded students and charity professionals who get together every other Tuesday to support and advise on student-led campaigns. We’re currently working in partnership with WRASAC, ScrapAntics, Shelter Scotland, and Dundee Pride to bring you this initiative.
What’s in it for me?
If you attend the Forum, you will be provided with any advice and support you need to start or develop any campaign you want to run. If you attend regularly, there will also be training and ambassadorial opportunities.
How do I get involved?
Submit your ideas to the box below or email Jazmine, your Vice President of Community, at vpc@dusa.co.uk. or come along to one of the meetings this semester in Meeting Room 1, next to the Hive on Floor 4:
Monday 6th March
