Awards & Achievements

In June 2009 LUU was awarded ‘Best Higher Education Students’ Union’ by NUS.

Leeds University Union is proud to hold a number of accreditations and awards for its services, which include the Investors in People Award.
 
The Investors In People award means that Leeds University Union is an organisation that trains, develops, rewards and involves its staff to ensure that they have the right knowledge and skills to do the best at their job and to offer the best level of service to our members.

We are listed in the Best Companies Guide 2008 as a one star organisation, the first year that we took part.

In 2008 we became one of the first students’ union to gain ‘Students’ Union Evaluation Initiative’ recognition, and the only union to date to be awarded Gold status.

SUEI is designed to assess ways of improving services and activities to members of the Union by indicating areas for continuous improvement.

We now also hold Investing in Volunteers, the UK quality standard for all organisations which involve volunteers in their work, and Investors in Diversity, a new quality standard which recognises organisations that truly embrace and work towards improving diversity.

Other awards for Leeds University Union include the 'Best Bar None' Award for three of the bars, alongside recent Regional Awards for Terrace and Stylus.

Our cleaning department is an assessment centre for the British Institute of Cleaning Science.

We are proud to have the Community Legal Service Quality Mark for our Student Advice Centre.

These high standards mean that not only are we a benchmark for other Student Unions, but also for any other employer.
