Society Committee members are invited to attend the second Big Spend It meeting of the year!
Spend It is the Guild’s way of distributing its grant funding to its societies. Alongside principles and values of participatory budgeting, the Guild wants to ensure societies have access to funding to support them in their organisation of events/activities or to buy items for their society, decided by students, for students!
All society committee members are invited to four meetings per year, where bids will be presented to them by other society committee members.
Attendees can make amendments to the bids by consensus, and all attendees can then vote on the bids.
The bids with the most votes will be funded up to £4,000 in total.
We invite bids that are for:
- More than £350, up to £4,000
- Large items/events/activities
- Projects that include collaboration between societies
- Projects that are likely to have a longer lead-in time
- Projects that have a benefit to the wider society/student community
The deadline for Round 2 bids was 12th November - thanks to all societies who submitted a bid! We will be in touch ahead of the Round 2 Meeting.
You can find more information about the criteria for bids and the link to the application form in the Funding section of the Society Handbook, but if you have any questions about this, please let us know at saadmin@liverpool.ac.uk
When is the meeting taking place?
Big Spend It Round 2 will take place on Wednesday 3rd December, 5pm-8pm, in the Elizabeth Gidney Room, here at the Guild.
Only one representative per society should attend to take part in the voting of the meeting.
