Student Group Handover Help
We wanted to provide Student Groups with comprehensive support on how to go about completing a committee handover online.
This guidance is by no means exhaustive, and is intended as a platform for you to build from. Please edit this document and add in anything that you think should be included in your handover.
Adopt a Society
If your Student Group has been unable to fill the three core positions (President/Club Captain, Treasurer and Wellbeing and Inclusion Ambassador), it will be disaffiliated and will be automatically entered into ‘Adopt a Society’.
This is a new advertising space on www.leicesterunion.com to find potential committee members to either fill vacant roles or completely take over the society. You can find an example of what an ‘Adopt a Society’ page will look like here.
The Activities & Volunteering Department have created this ‘Adopt a Society’ form to help you ‘handover’ to the Students’ Union and/or the partially elected committee and to enable us to support the next committee with catered advice.
