What is a Students' Union?

Edge Hill Students' Union is an independent charity with a mission to give Edge Hill students the best university experience possible.

We run The Red Bar and Studio, Union Burrito, and on-campus SUBWAY, but we are so much more than that. 

Student voice is at the core of our operations. We are here to listen to you, campaign for you, give you advice and bring about change at the University. Whether you're studying in Ormskirk or Manchester, we're here to help you have the best student experience possible.

Welcome to Edge Hill Students' Union!

There's never a dull day at EHSU.

We host activities, events and club nights year round, including crafternoons, karaoke parties and our ever-popular guide dog-petting sessions. Whatever you're interested in, you're bound to find something you like. Head on over to our What's On page to find out about upcoming events. 

 

Our commercial spaces fund your services.
 

Every penny you spend in SUBWAY and in our online shop goes right back into the Students' Union so we can continue to fund the services you need and ask for. Every time you eat with us, drink with us, and party with us, do it all in the knowledge that you're helping to make Edge Hill a better place.

 

We support you when times are hard.
 

Our Advice Team provides free independent, confidential and expert advice for Edge Hill students.

 

In an average month, we work to help around 70 students on a number of issues including academic issues, housing, landlords, exam failures, mental health and more. If you're in need of some support, you are welcomed to book an appointment to see one of our amazing advice team and we can discuss ways to support you moving forward through your studies. 

 

We can help you find your Edge Hill family.

 

Our Societies programme is a the best way to find new friends and discover a new passion away from your studies. Societies are completely student-run and facilitated by your Students' Union, who will support you organising trips, activities, workshops and more. Whether you're into politics, music, academia or board games, there is a society for everybody. You can also set up your own society dedication to anything you're passionate about. 

 

We stand up for student voice. 
 

Everything we do, we do for Edge Hill students. Our Elected Officers run year-round campaigns focussed on improving your student experience, sitting on a number of University committees to ensure every decision the University directorate makes has your wants and needs in mind.

 

Our Feedback Reps and Academic Societies also stand up for student voice at course, department and faculty level, directly challenging the University and lobbying for change on behalf of their fellow students.

 

We're here to support you every step of the way through your University journey. Tell us your ideas, your issues, vote for the students you want to represent you, or run for a role yourself. The power to change Edge Hill is in your hands.

 

Our Strategic Plan

 

We're excited to share our new Strategic Plan for 2023-2027.  The plan outlines the Union's goals and objectives for the next four years, and it is based on feedback from students and stakeholders. We're committed to developing a plan that will meet the needs of all Edge Hill University students.   We're confident that the new Strategic Plan will help to make Edge Hill Students' Union an even more effective organisation and will help to enhance the student experience at Edge Hill University.
