Access Activities

To make sure that as many people are not only able to take part in extra-curricular activities but that, once they have, feel welcomed to their chosen activity and want to get more and more involved in the Union.


Bikes

Cycling is fun, healthy, green and cheap. However bikes lanes are few and far between and secure lock ups are inadequate.


Body Beautiful

The government has an ethical responsibility to combat the promotion of mental illnesses, particularly eating disorders, through the media and LUU should take initiative and encourage them to do this.
 

Education First

The student executive committee have been meeting with senior staff from the University on a weekly basis to make sure that the £35 million savings proposed by the University of Leeds do not have an effect on students.

Knowledge

'Making our members feel safer' is a key target for LUU as our members have stated it as one of the most important things that LUU can do for them.


Medicine Access

Making Leeds' medicines more available to poor people in the developing world.


No Leeds Bradford Airport Expansion

Following the Climate Change Act 2008, all businesses and households in Leeds will have to reduce their C02 emissions year on year, however if the expansion goes ahead the airport will eventually use all of the city's carbon budget.
The increase of up to 70,000 flights per year will also mean more noise for students living under the flight path in Headingley and even more traffic.


World Class Funding

The current student funding system is unfair, as students take on a large part of the cost of their higher education when the government could be contributing more.


Worst Buses

Making travel by bus more affordable to students in Leeds and encouraging more students to leave their cars at home.
