As a people-focused society, we aim to improve the lives of those who are overlooked or in need. We do this through our projects which are designed to target Exeter's key social issues.

This year we want to:

• Collaborate with other societies to help fundraise and raise awareness for local charities
• Work with the Exeter community to ensure that we adapt to their needs and develop innovative ways to do this
• Host volunteer social events to celebrate the achievements of the projects
• Continue to be an inclusive and environmentally-conscious society
