Jump Start

This society is part of the Jump Start Scheme.

Sometimes a society that has existed in previous years doesn't continue on into the new year for whatever reason, often because the people who run it graduate. This means that sometimes a society is ready to go, but missing a crucial part of what's needed to make it tick, that could be you! With our jump start a society programme, you can become a society leader and pick up where the society left off! If you're interested in adopting this society, please contact Christy for more information! Otherwise, if you'd be interested in joining the society, please sign up so we know which societies have the highest level of interest and where we can offer the most support!

Potential New Society Alert!

This is a brand new society - and we need members!.

This society is brand new, and in order to become an official society it needs a minimum of 10 members before it can start.

If you love the sound of this society and would absolutely join it if it was set up, then see the Join section below to show your interest!

As the disabled students society of the university, we aim to create a supportive community where students with disabilities can connect with others facing similar challenges, reducing feelings of isolation and fostering a sense of belonging. We welcome people who identify as disabled with physical disabilities, mental disabilities and neurodivergences - diagnosed or not!

We feel it's important to help raise awareness about disabilities in addition to helping those who live with one (or many!) live with their conditions; promoting understanding and empathy among the broader student body and running sessions where we support each other in accessing help to meet our needs and some where we generally just have fun together! In addition, we advocate for improved accessibility and accommodations on campus, ensuring we are making the university environment more inclusive for everyone and making them feel welcomed - which is our main aim.

We provide a platform for disabled students to share their experiences, concerns, and achievements and support one another to access reasonable adjustments and finances they are entitled to; contributing to their overall emotional, social, and academic wellbeing and helping disabled students thrive in addition to having fun in a community you can relate to!
