Awareness Day Campaigns

There is so much more to More Than a Month than history months. At the Guild we strive to shine a light on awareness days throughout the year, recognising the importance of honouring these occasions and helping students find the support they need on campus and across the city.

2024/25 Dates

World Mental Health Day: 10th October

This World Mental Health Day our Student Officer team took to campus with cups of positivi-tea and sweat treats to remind students to not ‘dodge their feelings’ and how to find support at the Guild.

Hate Crime Awareness Week: 16th October

For National Hate Crime Awareness Week we shared information on our social media channels reminding students that the Guild is a hate crime reporting centre and where to find support on campus.

Movember: 1st – 30th November

Rowan, Jitendra and Othman braved the shave this Movember to help start conversations about the importance of checking in with our friends and looking after our mental health. The Officer team headed out with their Movember tea trolley to ensure the conversation continued throughout the month.

This year we asked students to complete SOS-UK's anonymous drug and alcohol survey to gain an insight into our students’ experiences and thoughts towards drugs and alcohol.

This Transgender Day of Remembrance we held a meet-up for all our student communities as a chance to reflect, as well as sharing information and support to the Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil held by our LGBTQ+ society and Gender Liberation society. We also highlighted key information from Cheer Up Luv on how we can all be better allies.

Vice President Holly led our Reclaim the Night campaign alongside officers from John Moore’s Student Union and Hope SU. We hosted banner making sessions and bystander intervention training. On 29th November we led a march through Liverpool city centre where over 150 attendees joined us to support Reclaim the Night.
