Below you will find downloadable materials to help your group to campaign. The materials are divided into campaigning materials and information.
You can edit the materials to add information about your uni and your group.
If you have a flyer, poster or other campaign materials you can share, please email them to universities(at)caat·org·uk so that we can share them with other groups via this website.
Please note that some resources are historic so old pieces on BAE (as an example) may contain old statistics – so for more up to date information to campaign on make sure you open the most recent document or email universities(at)caat·org·uk for more information.
