About Leeds University Union
A students' union exists to represent students to the University, the media and other outside organisations and to provide key services.
Democracy is at the heart of what we do.
Six full-time Student Executive Officers are elected annually as trustees of the Union and they determine the overall policies and make decisions about major issues facing the Union.
Alongside the Executive Officers there are also four Student Trustees and four Co-opted Trustees, the latter being people external to the Union.
This group of people have ultimate responsibility for the Union and its activities.
The Board of Trustees are supported by a team of professional managers, who implement LUU's policies, undertake the on-going, day-to-day management of LUU and manage our staff.
We have a core staff group of around 180 people, but at any one time we can have up to 400 part-time staff members (mostly students) who work in our shops, bars and other functions.
Not For Profit and Our Services
Leeds University Union is a 'Not For Profit' organisation.
This means that any profit made from our commercial operations goes towards providing services for our student members.
Our members have fantastic opportunities to get involved in the Union, with over 260 sports clubs and recreational societie to choose from.
In recent years we have made substantial investments in the fabric of the building, and further improvements are being made as part of our three year plan.
Services include a supermarket; an off-licence; a bookshop; a juice bar; five other bars and two nightclubs; a student employment service; an advice centre; an award-winning newspaper and radio station; and many others!
