Eligibility

The Committee are keen to hear from staff arranging events, clubs and societies that can bring staff together from across the University in a social environment, and promotes an inclusive community in line with University values. 

Any member of staff of the University holding a contract of employment may apply for Funding through the Bequest.

Clubs and Societies

  • You don't need to be part of an existing Club or Society to apply - you can apply for a club or society just being started.
  • You can be a member of a Club or Society but don't need to hold a membership position (e.g. Secretary or Treasurer).
  • Provided it is staff-led, students can be a part of the club or event as well.
  • Student-run Societies cannot apply - the Bequest stated staff specifically, but don't worry, the SRC can help students! Find out more about the Glasgow University Student Representative Council
