Before founding Organised Fun, she worked for the National Union of Students as the Student Opportunities Consultant. Before then, she was the Societies & Student Development Coordinator at Swansea University Students’ Union. Rosie is a serious Student Opportunities fan, having found a home in societies and fundraising whilst studying a history degree at Swansea University. She’s been a volunteer since childhood and is now Vice-Chair of the local skatepark committee.
Student Opportunities 101 - Training
The 'Student Opportunities 101' training (powered by NUS Charity) covers what and who you need to know to love your work in the wonderful world of societies, sport, fundraising, volunteering and student media.
New to student opportunities?
This training will give learners a ‘roadmap’ of Student Opportunities; where Organised Fun explain the acronyms and jargon, talk about impact and outline how to support volunteers in a students’ union context.
Crucially, this training covers the fundamentals of running an opportunities service, including charity and media law, volunteer and risk management. You will come away knowing what to expect working in opportunities and which areas to focus on to get the basics right.
