Welcome to Lancashire
Your Students’ Union is where student life happens: from groups and communities to coffee between lectures, drinks at Lampworks and free, confidential advice when you need it. But we’re here for more than that. We’re here to make student life better. Vote, stand for election, tell us what matters and decide what we fight for.
What Matters to Us
Everything we do is guided by these three things.
Tackling the Cost of Studying
Protecting Student Wellbeing
Helping Students Achieve
What you spend, we put back
Every coffee, meal, pint or ticket you buy through the SU helps fund services, support, events and opportunities for students.
