Together, we'll make sure you love your time at Leeds.
It's that simple. We want students studying here at Leeds to have a fantastic time. Our activities and services (representation, campaining, student advice, sports teams, societies, joblink, bars, events and shops) will all contribute to a brilliant time in Leeds.
Love your time at Leeds
These are the best bits in summary!
1. Making it easy for you to improve your skills and enjoy new experiences.
Our proposals in this area include providing space in the Union and on our website for you to grow your skills and get access to advice, support and opportunities so that you graduate with a great CV.
2. Helping you to get the support you need to make your life easier.
You asked us to make your money go further, so we’re findings ways to help you with money saving ideas and advice on managing your money.
3. Giving you more for your membership and more for your money.
We will continue to be a not for profit organisation. We will be completely transparent in how we recycle the money that you spend in the Union to support our activities so that you love your time in Leeds.
4. Working together for change on the issues that affect you.
We will help you campaign on issues that affect you during your time in Leeds. Together we will prove that change is possible when you believe that it is.
5. Making your membership fun and exciting.
Proposals here include investing in technology in our shops and bars so that we can offer you a loyalty card, giving you discounts on products that interest you and rewarding you for getting involved in the Union.
6. Creating a strong work culture that helps our staff help you.
We will make sure that the Union recruits and develops the best staff to ensure that you love your time in Leeds.
7. Being sustainable in every way.
We are going to be innovative and creative in how we use new technologies and systems that benefit the lives of our members and make us truly sustainable. This theme also covers the changes that we need to make as a result of the Charities Act 2006. You can find out more about what this legislation means for LUU here.
8. Creating a vibrant space for you to meet other people.
We are going to create a better Union building with more seating areas and social spaces for members. We will also continue to improve our websites to give you access to all of the Union’s support, advice and representation services online whenever you need them.
9. Building a community for all of our members.
We want to make sure that we connect with members who have specific needs from their Union, making sure that they receive the information that they want about our services and activities.
