Our vision

 

Our vision is for every student at Lancaster to feel like part of a wider community where they can feel a sense of belonging and know that they have the support they need to make the most out of their time at university.

 

 

 

Our Purpose

 

Through our vision, we can ensure the creation of change through these student communities, empowering students to strive for the future they want to see while supporting their ability to do so.

 

 

 

Our values

 

Our Values underpin everything we do and believe in as a students’ union. They guide not only what we do, but how we do it.   
Knitted together by a common purpose, our volunteers, officers, trustees, representatives, and staff power what we do.

 

  • Approachable

 

  • Supportive

 

  • Sustainable

 

  • Independent

 

  • Impactful

A massive thank you has to go to...

 

The thousands of our students who helped shape are plans for the future. Your voices were heard loudly and clearly.

 

To the people from ‘the outside’ who have acted as critical friends: Lizzie Bone, NUS Head of Strategy and Performance, Shanaaz Latif, National Council for Voluntary Organisations, Charlie Edwards, Lancashire County Councillor, Gina Connelly and UPSU and the other unions we spoke to, teams over at Alterline and Redbrick and Antony Blackshaw.

 

From the university in particular Professor Amanda Chetwynd and Tom Buckley Director of Recruitment, Admissions and International Development. We look forwards to working closely with colleagues across the university to deliver our plans.

 

And finally, to our officers, trustees and staff, thank you for putting in the thinking time, your ideas and doing the leg work. Here’s to an exciting future.
