In the last financial year, the Students' Union is proud to have helped students to raise over £6,000 for different charities.
As a charity itself, the Students' Union is not able to donate to other charities due to charity law. However, it is able to assist students in their efforts to raise money for charities that are important to them.
Below are all the examples of where students have gone above and beyond and helped make a difference to each and every charity. Well done to you all.
