Make a Change
Your voice matters
LUU is your Students’ Union. We’re here to support you, represent you and help make student life better.
LUU is student-led, which means students have a say in what we do, what we campaign for and what we change.
You might want to improve something at LUU, make your course or university experience better, change something in Leeds, or campaign for a bigger issue that affects students and wider society.
Whatever your idea, there are lots of ways to make change happen, sometimes all it takes is one idea and the willingness to get started.
There are plenty of ways to get involved with LUU.
You can submit ideas through ‘Make it Better’, run for officer in LeadLUU and much more.
Leeds University Union is yours to get involved with!
Have an idea? Head to Make It Better
Make It Better is LUU’s new year-round platform for students to submit ideas and problems they’d like to see addressed.
You can submit something small, such as fixing a process that isn’t working, or something much bigger, such as an idea for a campaign or a change you want LUU, the University or Leeds to make.
Once you’ve submitted your idea, other students engage with and help develop it.
We’ll help you work out what happens next.
So you've submitted your idea, what happens next?
Assemblies
They go to Assemblies!
Assemblies are spaces where students come together to discuss the issues that matter to them and work out what should happen next. Everyone is welcome to attend as you don’t need to be a Rep, elected officer or member of a society to take part.
Assemblies bring together students, student leaders, clubs, societies and communities to discuss ideas that have been raised through Make It Better and elsewhere.
You might help develop a campaign, work out how an idea could be implemented, develop a policy proposal or decide what action students want to take.
Better Forums
This is LUU’S formal policymaking space.
You can also stand for election to become one of LUU's elected student leaders through LeadLUU
Making change can sound complicated, but you don't have to understand every part of the process before you get involved.
You can start with a problem, an idea, by talking to other students, or by simply telling us what isn’t working. We’ll help you work out what comes next. Get in touch with our Student Voice and Organising Team to find out more info.
