Clubs and Societies
Imperial College Union has a large number of student-led clubs, volunteering projects and societies, around 300 in total. Funding for clubs and societies at Imperial College Union is significant, taking up a sizable portion of the Union's annual subvention provided by Imperial College London.
Clubs, projects and societies at Imperial College Union are grouped by interest and are administered by either Clubs and Societies' Committees, who deal with the majority of procedural issues and who are responsible for representing the clubs within their care to Imperial College Union. Examples of notable student groups are Project Nepal which sends Imperial College students to work on educational development in rural Nepal and the El Salvador Project, a construction based project in Central America. There are also sports-related societies such as Imperial College Boat Club and Imperial College Gliding Club.
The clubs contained within Imperial College are supported by a number of features, including 15 minibuses which are available for clubs to hire. Imperial College also owns a mountain hut in Snowdonia, Wales, which it lets clubs use free of charge.

That swarm around the sleeper’s head
But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”

“There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. This is what the West has done with its colonial system. It shook all the societies in the world loose from their old moorings. But it seems indifferent whether or not they reach safe harbour in the end.”
—Barbara Ward (1914–1981)
