Campaigns

University is a massively exciting experience, yet it does come with its' challenges that can leave many students feeling overwhelmed and isolated.

As your Students'Union, we've launched a campaign to tackle student loneliness and help more students make connections and have a fun year!

We're working hard with our clubs and societies to offer opportunities for you to get involved in our community.

Contact your Vice-president Communities (communities.union@stir.ac.uk) or our Activities & Volunteer Coordinator, Jordyn Austin (jordyn.austin@stir.ac.uk) to find out more details.

Community Fridge and Pantry

"Take when you need, give when you can."

The Students’ Union 2022/23 Union President, Tash Miller, and Vice-president Communities, Jess Reid, launched the Community Food Initiative in November 2022 with the Community Fridge and Pantry! The Community Fridge and Pantry is available to students and staff, and is currently located next to the Union Green and Blue space. Generously supported by Stirling Alumni through The Stirling Fund, the Community Food Initiative aims to alleviate food poverty and financial stress, whilst encouraging food sustainability and reducing waste.

To donate to the Initiative, please deliver food donations to the Green and Blue space or the Students' Union, ensuring donations are in date and sealed.

Following work from the fantastic student-led campaign, Help Not Harm, and in February 2021,a motion was passed to request the Students’ Union supply harm-reduction materials to students. These include; drug safety booklets, testing kits for drugs, and spiking prevention resources.

As of November 2022, these resources are available in the Students' Union offices and bar. The Students' Union will work will Help Not Harm to engage in positive conversations with the University to develop a modern harm-reductionist drug policy for Stirling.

Ensuring students have access to safe, secure and affordable housing is a key priority for the Students' Union - check out our video below featuring VP Communities, Justine speaking with students on housing.
