Website
Student Action has a new website!
But this is far more than a lick of paint: all of our projects are now run by a custom made Volunteer Management System, which allows project managers and volunteers access to all the information they need wherever they are, as well as online sign up and an entirely paperless operation.Our dedicated team is also available to provide graphics design and online solutions for your organisation. For business enquiries please contact action@umsu.manchester.ac.uk.

Welcome to Student Action, open to the University of Manchester , Manchester Metropolitian, Royal College of Northern Music and Salford students and staff.
Student Action aims to empower students; giving them inspiring and exhilarating opportunities that benefit the local community in Greater Manchester.
We provide volunteers and project managers with unique opportunities to gain leadership and management skills, enabling them to make a significant impact at their time in University. These skills will be invaluable for future jobs.
All our projects require (apart from ‘homeless’ or ‘environmental’ projects) CRB checks (UK citizens) or a Letter of Good Conduct (EU or International Students).

Look out for the weekly email which states which day and time the CRB checks will be taking place. Here is what you need to bring.
Plus here is the guidance about filling out your forms out.
CRB'S TAKE 4 WEEKS TO COME THROUGH!!
This year we have 32 weekly projects and 4 yearly projects. This is your chance to improve your CV, get invaluable free training and have some fun!
We are in urgent need of drivers! Many of our projects cannot happen unless we find more drivers. If you are 21 or older, have a clean driving license and have been driving for two years then we desperately need YOU.
All you need to do is apply for a union minibus test at the Activities Centre (open Monday - Friday 10am to 4pm) or email us. You can then drive for us and/or any society!
