The festival is hosted by the association in collaboration with the Student Publication
Association, the National Student Television Association, the Student Volunteering
Network, the Student Radio Association, and Organised Fun. It is aimed at everyone
involved in Student Opportunities; student volunteers, committees, sabbatical officers
and staff.

 

The week-long free event runs from today (29 June) to 5 July and includes talks,
workshops and panel discussions in an interactive environment where students can
learn from charity sector specialists, employers, RAGs and other students from across
the UK.

 

Participating organisations and charities will be giving an insight into what they
do and how their work has changed during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as exploring
the future of the student fundraising sector and giving top tips, advice and delivering
training to student groups to help them reach their fundraising targets.

 

More than 575 attendees are currently registered for the festival, with a further
1,000+ expressing interest on Facebook.
