Start an Invest for Change campaign

Make sure your university money is invested in the interest of students

UK universities have over £15 billion in investments, frequently invested against the interests of students and the world they will graduate into. These investment decisions are often left to externally appointed investment managers with little engagement from the university itself. It’s time to change this.

We need universities to Invest for Change, investing in environmental and social justice solutions and using their influence to push for wider change in the financial system.

Start a campaign at your university now - using our student campaign guide and starter checklist.

Get in touch by emailing melanie.kee@sos-uk.org for support!
