Our Campaigns & Charities committee run several campaigns to make our student members' lives easier, and help the wider world.

Free Condoms

Every Tuesday and Wednesday, we run a Free Condom service out of the Union's cloakroom. Despite the name, you can get all kinds of contraception here, and you'll be charged for abosolutely none of it. Also available is information on where to go for sexual health checkups and advice.

Movember

Every November, the QMU throws away the shaver and takes part in Movember. All the money we raise during our Movember events gets given to men's health charities that fund research and awareness programs for men's health issues such as prostate cancer. You are free - and encouraged - to join and sponsor our team over at uk.movember.com/mospace/1368074/

Recycling Policy

The Union follows a strict recycling policy that means that a bin for paper, cans and plastic bottles is put in every board area, and throughout the second floor (where the food is).

Charity of the Semester

Each semester a charity is elected by the committee to be the target of all fundraising efforts in the Union, like the money raised by selling glowsticks and the like at our clubnights. Pop over here to find out more about this semester's charity.

Additionally, the Union upholds several core policies.

Students' Association

'The Union is against the concept of a single students' representative body or "Students' Association".
In the event of a specific proposal of a Students' Association ebing presented by the University, an extraordinary meeting of the Board of Management shall be called for the first available date. The meeting shall form a working committee on the subject, if deemed necessary.
The Union will oppose any referendum brought on the topic of a Students' Association.'
