Since launching the society at St Andrews, we’ve held a fundraising dinner, and we hope to organise panel discussions, awareness campaigns, and more events that inspire conversation and actions in the future.
Launching a HART society isn’t just about raising awareness, it’s a chance to grow as a leader, connect with others, and make a real impact for those that need it the most. You’ll gain experience organising events, building partnerships, and starting important conversations. Most importantly, you’ll join a network of students who care deeply about justice and compassion.
Starting a HART society is easier than you might think; HART offers support and resources, and once others see your passion, they’ll want to get involved too. You don’t need to be an expert; you just need to care. Even small actions, such as a talk, a film screening or a fundraiser can inspire change and give others a voice. No matter what you study, there’s space for you as a HART ambassador at your university. If you care about human rights, advocacy, or creating a better world, this is your invitation. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about showing up and taking the first step.
In a world that often feels overwhelming, starting a HART society is a tangible way to take action. Now more than ever, we need spaces that amplify unheard voices and challenge indifference. So if you’ve ever wondered what you can do, this is your chance. Start one. Be the difference.
