We’ve got your back

We know student publications sometimes need extra support, and they can’t always get it from their universities or unions.

If you’re facing censorship, funding cuts, or just need some help, we’re here fight your corner.

We have a trustee team of industry professionals and have successfully lobbied for our members for over a decade.
