We’ve been on a behind the scenes mission this year to make it easier for students to engage with us and shape the organisation.
So far we have:
- Revised our byelaws so they empower our student members to set the direction of their Union. (The final draft of these revised byelaws are going to Student Council for approval in April).
- Started a review of our Articles of Association (led by a student) to make this document work for the charity we are now, whilst ensuring excellent governance.
- Set a new strategic framework based around our theory of change, which allows us to focus on three core missions that are important to our membership (protecting student wellbeing, tackling cost of studying and boosting attainment).
We are the membership organisation for students at UCLan and the needs of our students are constantly shifting so we need to make sure we shift with them.
There will be lots of ways for students to get involved in shaping our organisation over the next few months, watch this space…

Invitation to Tender – Student Representation Review
We’re changing the way we do things at UCLan SU and we’re looking for someone to support us with the next stage of this journey. We are looking for external support to help us review our student representation structures to make sure they are still working for our membership.
One of our core charitable objects is to serve as the representative body for students at the University of Central Lancashire. Our student representatives are fundamentally how we do this and they are what makes our charity special. Our beneficiaries have been embedded in our structures from the beginning. However, since our student body has continually changed and shifted over the last ten years, our structures have remained the same. As we embark on a new values and mission led strategy, we believe the time is right for a thorough and radical review of this essential part of our charity.
