Bringing Change as a Team
SUPPORT STUDENTS
One of the key values of the SGA is to support all students in their overall development throughout their University Career. This means taking constant feedback, being a helping hand, or just generally pointing you in the right direction!
​
RAISING ANDÂ GIVING CAMPAIGN
RAG campaigns are student-led fundraising organisations that are widespread at Universities in the United Kingdom. We partner with a charity chosen by the SGA, coordinate fundraising, and donate funds each year.
ORGANISE AND RUN EVENTS
We do our best to provide a variety of events on and off-campus throughout the year. We run all of the term-time club nights, the Winter Ball, and the Spring Garden Party; as well as more-low key events like Family Feud or a Diversity Fair. See you soon!
STAND AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
Unity in Diversity is a core belief of the Richmond community, and the Executive Board takes a clear stance against all forms of discrimination. We encourage any student who feels they have been discriminated against to contact us and we will take it further anonymously.
