7. Budget Planning Working together in a group:
‘You have been awarded £250 by winning a competition for your group. Working together how are you going to use this money to benefit ALL of your members.’
Think about budget, your group size, needs that your group need support with etc.
How you’re going to come to your decision?
What you are going to do?
Most importantly WHY you are going to do it?

8. Sponsorships
In groups think about the potential different sponsors for your student groups, the types of sponsorships that may be available to student groups and list a number of ways you can obtain a sponsorship. Be prepared to share your ideas with the rest of the group.
#ActiCon17

9. Sponsorships Tips
Not all sponsorships need to be financial, you can get sponsorships for clothing, merchandise, printing etc.
All sponsorships need to be approved by the VP Activities and the Activities Manager.
The Union has exclusivity deals meaning that some sponsors are not permitted. Ask Activities for more details!
Try and get your sponsorships sorted as soon as possible so you can effectively budget for the year.
Sponsorship forms and guidance will be available soon on the Student Leaders HQ.
