For me, getting involved in a STAND Society can help make you feel like you’re actively making a difference in the world which is something that unfortunately has become harder and harder to do. Getting involved in a committee can help provide amazing opportunities to learn about various things from key global issues to logistics how to run a committee and much more. While many other societies have no support we have a national organisation behind us who always have our back and help take off a lot of the burden of running a society and this helps empower us to be the best we can be. Please get involved, you won’t regret it!

I think there should be a STAND society on every campus because it is a place to allow people to learn without expectations. We don’t expect anyone to join our committee and know everything there is to know about justice and inequality but we want to be there to help you on your own journey to discover why these things matter to you and how they affect the world around you. I think being part of the committee would not only be good for individuals but for the campus as a whole as it is a place people can grow their understanding and give everyone a great basis for an interest in justice and equality issues.
