Our impact in 2017/18 can be measured:
The Guild undertakes and facilitates a wide range of services and activities.The Guild’s venues provide students with a place to meet, with a coffee shop and bar space which provides a range of food within the building.
The Guild houses Liverpool’s second largest live music venue, the Mountford Hall. This venue is used for external gigs, as well as awards ceremonies, performances and formal dinners.
Space is available for Student Activity Groups to book for events and this is a growing area of the work and one of the key areas we now support.
The Membership Services Department is made up of three main teams; Advocacy, Democracy and Campaigns, and Student Activities.
The Advocacy Team’s work includes supporting and developing course representatives, providing academic advice, and supporting Guild officers in committee activity.
The Democracy and Campaigns Team facilitate student-led campaigning. They also ensure the Guild is a democratic, involving organisation, through delivering elections, administering the Guild’s Change It platform and facilitating meetings of the Summit.
The Student Activities team support the work of student societies and provide volunteering opportunities, offering students the chance to lead activity, develop new skills and meet other students. They work closely with the University to develop Hall Students Committees, ensuring that students have the best possible experience living in University accommodation. The team also has a range of activity to support sustainability. Working closely with students, the University and other stakeholders they offer opportunities for students to have a positive impact on the environment around them. Volunteers have worked with local schools, developed innovative approaches to sustainability challenges and worked to green the curriculum.
