Finding information about different causes and issues isn't always easy. Be Informed has been created by students, for students. By working together with Hubs across the country, we hope that you'll be able to find out everything that you might want to know about social, environmental and developmental issues all in one place.
Under the left hand tabs you'll find a mixture of information, blogs, and audio and visual recordings. Below you can read about our latest news happenings
We're always looking to add to these pages, so if there's an issue you're interested in but you cannot find any details, or if you've got a blog or recording that you'd like to contribute, please get in touch so that we can improve the information we provide.
Here is the Summer 2011 newsletter from Student Hubs!
