Amnesty International was founded on the belief in the power of ordinary people to make extraordinary change. With 22 million members worldwide, Amnesty is a charity with an incomparable amount of persuasion, influence and passion with regard to human rights. The City University Amnesty Group is a way for students to become part of the change. We work to educate and inform others of what human rights are and where they are violated, both at home and abroad. We also organise activities and events to raise money to help stop and prevent these violations from continuing. We are looking for people who are passionate and enthusiastic about human right to help us with our aim.
Whilst we collectively choose a project and main event to focus on, any member can use Amnesty to organise their own human rights venture. If there is a particular cause that you want to raise awareness for, the student action network will help you to do so. So if you want to be part of the solution or just learn more about us and human rights email us at calsamnestygroup@gmail.com and come along to a meeting to talk to us.

Al Alvarez once said, "Serious poker is no more about gambling than rock climbing is about risk taking".
Over the last century, poker has evolved from a game of chance to a sport involving maths, psychology and physical endurance. As the official poker society of City University London, CUPS aims to dispel the age-old notion that poker is a game of pure gambling. We strongly advocate the analytical and statistical elements of the game.
Our activities include the following,
1) Weekly Poker tournaments
2) Poker talks and lectures
3) Social events
Through the league system, CUPS hopes to successfully build a team of players to represent the university in inter-varsity competitions.

We understand the demanding educational nature of university and in turn attempt to provide exciting physical activities and a social environment for our members to be at ease so they can learn and be inspired by Hinduism and also make new friends. Not forgetting that Hinduism is dominated by a large number of divisions and we hold stimulating events for a variety of festivals. This ensures the largest festivals in the Hindu calendar are celebrated with a fresh appeal and that the various meanings behind them are also understood.
So for those who are curious about the culture as well as fro those who are keen to further their knowledge of Hindu philosophy can join us in a welcoming and exciting environment. We also apply our heritage to university subjects ranging from engineering, social science, Cass and law.
To maximize your university experience we have also collaborated with other universities, global charities and youthful communities. For instance, we are affiliated with the NHSF (which encompasses the majority of the Hindu Societies from universities around the country), where we are involved with extensive national initiatives such as the annual sports competition and Sewa week. This is known to be an extraordinary, unforgettable and action packed event.
Today, we have actively pursued our objectives through the organization of a range of shows, forums, social events, guest speakers and camps that have benefited not only the students but the general public as well.
