Campaigns
We organise many campaigns at Nottingham Trent University from
awareness and political campaigns to fundraising work. We now implement
campaigns across NTU organised by the NUS LGBT, our Society, and those
in conjuction with the SU and local organisations. We encourage our
members to get involved with these campaigns whether it be putting up
posters in your Halls of Residence and giving out flyers ourside the SU
with us, to helping organise a signed petition to Parliament.

Bullying Sucks
Everyone has the right to study in safety.
NTU Pride is campaigning for the University to introduce a new
dedicated LGBT-bullying policy to combat bullying at NTU and to raise
awareness that even at University level, over 60% of students are
bullied on the grounds of their sexuality or gender identity.

Glovesoff
It’s been 25 years since the press first reported on the mysterious illness
that robbed people of their immune systems with horrific effects. Yet amazingly
many of the myths of the late 80s – like ‘HIV can be caught just by shaking
hands’ – continue to be believed today. This World AIDS Day, Terrence Higgins
Trust wants to overturn these false beliefs. If we all work together, people
with HIV will no longer have to face daily discrimination.

heart disease. |
