  • Clubs, Societies and Projects Policy
    Clubs, Societies and Projects Policy Definitions A Club, Society or Project is a collection of students supported by the Union to put on specific activities that cater to the interest of their members and uphold the value of the Union. They may be referred to collectively as CSPs in documentation. The words “Club” and “Society” are interchangeable and do not refer to specific types of organisation. The word “Project” refers to a group officially supported by the Union with extra-curricular objectives that are charitable, involve outreach work, or are activities that benefit non-members. The senior officer of a Club, Society or Project will be referred to as the Chair in this policy, though other names (e.g. President or Club Captain) can be used in practice. A Management Group is a collection of Clubs, Societies and/or Projects grouped together to be governed by either a Management Group Executive or a Constituent Union. These may be broken down into mini-management groups governed by a Vice-Chair. A Constituent Union may have a Management Group of CSPs but does not have a separate Management Group Exec or Chair as determined by the Imperial College Union Constitution and Bye-Laws. However, a Constituent Union may in its constitution delegate the governance of its Management Groups to specific officers. The Clubs, Societies and Projects Board (CSPB) is a subcommittee of Union Council. Its powers include allocation of funds and governance of all Clubs, Societies and Projects through policy and regulations. All CSPs have a voice at CSPB through an elected representative.
