OTHER EVENTS, DISCOUNTS, AND FREEBIES
We get that not everything at university revolves around drinking/nights out, which is why we want to work with you to organise other fun things to do throughout the year.
Whether it's bowling, going out for a meal, wanting to use our venue, end of year celebrations, or anything else that you want to do as a team, let us know what you have in mind and we'll help you organise and get special offers.
DISCOUNTS:
Waves Festival - 50% off for all sports team and society members

UNIVERSITY OF SUNDERLAND STUDENT'S HUB
Currently in development.
The 'University of Sunderland Student's Hub' will be open to all student's at University of Sunderland. The hub will be entirely community driven (for students, by students) where people can:
-
find out what's happening at university
-
updates about sports teams and societies
-
find course mates or neighbours at their accommodation
-
get support/ask questions
-
organise events/fundraisers
-
more...
This will be set up by freshers week, using our existing social media presence to get people into the group, and prepare giveaways with lots of content to kickstart its launch.
We feel this would be a great opportunity for Sports Teams and Societies to be introduced to new starters where they can find out about each team or society, who the contacts are, and how they can sign up.

NEWS, COVERAGE, BLOGS
We appreciate how important getting reach/coverage is for content, whether you already have an article elsewhere for us to share or would like one put up on our website, we want to support your team/society's content needs.
Below are two examples of the types of content we can put up on the website, which can then be shared to the University of Sunderland Student's Hub and on our other social media pages.
