This is your moment to have an impact!
The LUU Strategy Survey is your chance to influence what we do next.
Your thoughts set our priorities, spark new ideas, and drive real change across your Union.
Launching next week, the survey gives thousands of Leeds students the opportunity to share their experiences, share ideas, and voice concerns- and you should be one of them.
What Is The Strategy?
Every four years, we (Leeds University Union) assess our organisational ‘strategy,’ – a plan made up of our shared vision, goals, and values for the years ahead.
This year’s Strategy Survey will guide the plan, defining what we stand for, where we’re going, and how we’ll support students like you from 2026 – 2030.
LUU’s strategy is written by you.
The student voice sits at the heart of everything we do, and we need your help to shape our next chapter.
Why Does My Voice Matter?
Every idea at LUU begins with you.
From basic needs support to wellbeing spaces, your voice builds the foundation of your Union. Our students have already changed so much. Now, in 2025, it’s time to dream bigger, aim higher, and shape student life for the better.
So many great ideas came from student voices that need to be heard. We’re especially keen to hear from underrepresented and minority voices, to make sure that our plans truly reflect the diversity of our student community. We want your needs to not just be met, but championed.
Your feedback has built real spaces and changed real lives.
Here’s how your voice has already made a difference:
Essentials
You told us that you needed support during the cost-of-living crisis, so we created Essentials, a basic needs hub providing students with cost-free essential goods.
Crossroads
You wanted a safe, social space for gaming and community, we created Crossroads, a hub for offline and online gaming.
PGR Lounge
You needed a quiet, comfortable study space, so we built the PGR Lounge, a dedicated space for Postgraduate Research students, meetings, and quiet study.
Free Sanitary Products
You asked for sustainable period and health products on campus- we made them freely available around your Union.
Free Drug Testing Kits
You told us that you want to feel and stay safe at our bars and venues, we now provide free drug testing kits at our Advice Office.
24-Hour Libraries
You asked for places to study outside of regular hours to support exam working, we worked with the university, and now one of our most popular campus libraries is open 24/7.
Plus Programme Funding
You told us that you wanted Clubs and Societies to be more cost accessible, the Plus Programme now supports students from lower-income households subsidised costs.
All of these ideas came from you. Your voice has built the Union we know today- and now it’s time to imagine what comes next.
What Can I Win?
If making a difference isn’t already exciting enough- taking part gives you a chance to win a share of over £4,000 in prizes!
From exciting cash prizes to big tech wins, we’ve packed our prize pot to make sure that your efforts get rewarded. Take part in the LUU Strategy Survey and you could win a brand-new Macbook Air, Ipads, or Spotify Premium for a year. We’re also offering VIP Leeds Ball tickets, local dining experiences at venues such as The Ivy, Roxy Ballroom, and Rudy’s, LUU Eats credit, and surprise giveaways waiting for you at our pop-up stands across campus.
Don’t miss out- your five minutes could make a real impact and you could win something great.
The LUU Strategy Survey launches on Monday 20 October- don’t miss your chance to shape what happens next.
Your feedback doesn’t just influence our plans, it defines them. The next stage of our story starts with you.
