What is SCA Plus?Welcome! SCA Plus has been set up as an independent trust working for the benefit of Bristol University Student Community Action. It aims to facilitate Student Community Action to run both new projects and to support novel extensions to current projects by offering financial support and advice. Read more about SCA Plus and recent donations in our latest flyer. We are now accepting grant applications (see our Grants page). SCA Plus has been set up to meet the huge demand from beneficiaries and a keen interest from SCA volunteers for new grassroot initiatives, out of term activities and novel extensions of current projects. It also offers Student Community Action alumni the exciting opportunity to keep in touch with the progress of Student Community Action projects that they were involved with when at Bristol University. Together we can help SCA Plus to make a real difference to Student Community Action's projects (www.bristolsca.org.uk), its volunteers and the wider Bristol community. Please download the SCA Plus flyer (see our downloads page) for more on why SCA Plus was set up and how you can support it.
