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.

Wednesday Social
Wednesdays 1pm to 4.30pm
Take an afternoon off and have some fun with the elderly. Our afternoons are out are often spent exploring Manchester. Activities change week to week and we are always looking for new unseen places to go. We take out lots of different groups of O.A.P’s making it is a fantastic way to build a bridge between the young and the old.
Our project manager is Jessica Harvey and Rhanya Chaabane.
Senior Supermarket Sweep
Fridays 11am to 3pm
Go for a shopping trip with the elderly. Chats and good times guaranteed. Why not exchange recipes or do your own weekly shop with them? This project is vital to those elderly people in the community who find it hard to get out and about.
Our project manager is Hannah Brada.
