Activities Exec


What is the Activities Exec?

All clubs and societies are represented fairly and have equal access to funds and resources. A team of elected students, the Activities Exec, work with staff members (the Development Coordinators) at Leeds University Union to support and provide help to all clubs and societies (collectively known as student activities).


Who are the Activities Exec?

The Activities Exec are a group of student representatives from each different category area of student activities i.e. so someone from sports, someone from media, from volunteering, from performance etc. They were elected by members who are part of their category's clubs and societies.

The Activities Exec is overseen by Tim Mortimer, Leeds University Union's Activities Officer.
