Recruitment Pack Dear Applicant US together we can do it recruitment pack Dear Applicant, Thank you for showing an interest in our organisation and the role for which we are currently advertising. As President of our Union, I am incredibly proud to lead such a passionate and active organisation which has a clear positive impact on students’ lives at Lancaster University. This pack should give you a clear idea of what we are all about and where we see our future. Having motivated and enthusiastic staff who want to deliver for the organisation is critical to this. As well as being able to achieve within the students’ union, you will find that LUSU has a friendly and lively environment to work in. This includes working with experienced professionals, recent graduates and students; all of which culminate in a hub of ideas and energy. I would encourage you to find out more about us and I look forward to meeting some of you during the interview process. Ste Smith, LUSU President 2012-13 “ensuring representation, support, opportunities and services for Lancaster students” what lusu does We provide a mix of representation, opportunities, activities and services for Lancaster students. We are a not-for-profit, charitable organisation so any money we make through our commercial activity is ploughed straight back into offering our members more and better services. We look after all of the societies and sports clubs on campus, provide hundreds of volunteering opportunities both here and globally plus we put on big events like Roses and Grad Ball . We run a broad base of commercial operations from a nightclub to retail units. Representation is at the heart of what we do. We offer students both professional advice services and have a network of elected student officers through the College JCRs and Cross Campus Officers to ensure the student voice is heard. The political leadership of our Union comes from our elected officers, led by the President and team of 5 full time Vice Presidents. As a Students’ Union we are a registered educational charity. We have a Board of Trustees to oversee key decision making that relates to the future of LUSU. The trustees have a responsibility to ensure that LUSU makes sound financial decisions, works within the law and works for the benefit for its members. We are governed by our Constitution and Bye Laws, which outline how we operate and what we do. To find out more about what we have been doing you can read our Annual Report, Impact Report and Strategic Plan at lusu.co.uk/about/publications/. All will give you a flavour of what we’re all about. about our commercial services The Sugarhouse nightclub - This is the destination venue in Lancaster. Owned and operated by LUSU, our nightclub is situated in the city centre and opens 3 nights a week to provide a mix of student nights: chart and R’n’B, indie nights and retro. In addition, it hosts one off live events. The entertainment offered is complimented by smaller scale activities arranged by the JCRs (elected student College Officers) on campus and our larger scale annual events such as the Graduation Ball. LUSU Retail - We have a strong retailing presence at the University, through our two shops. Central is one of only two convenience stores located on the campus to serve our 12k students and 3k staff. In contrast, the LUSU Shop is more of a traditional Students’ Union shop providing stationery and gifts alongside fast moving, lunchtime goods and tickets. The Purple card - LUSU has also developed a successful discount card ‘the Purple card‘ which is the main student card for Lancaster University Students. Over 8 out of 10 students purchase a card. Through it we provide not only discounts within our services such as entry offers at the Sugarhouse and money off products in the shops but we also secure discounts with local and national retailers in the city centre. Marketing Opportunities - These are also an integral part of our income generation portfolio. We currently raise advertising and sponsorship income through our student newspaper, digital communications and websites as well as access to key events such as Freshers’ Fair and running student outdoor markets. a little about our other activities We also operate LUSU Living, a successful off campus property letting and management service. Through this scheme, over 1000 students have LUSU as their landlord . We are able to offer competitive deals and student friendly terms. LUSU have comprehensive and award winning volunteering opportunities for our members through LUSU Involve. This includes everything from supporting the University’s widening participation activity in the region’s schools, through to international link ups with our students in How our student members Goenka India and Sunway, Malaysia. perceive us. LUSU Annual Survey 2012 With over 180 societies and 35 sports clubs competing in the British Universities and Colleges Sports League under our umbrella there are plenty of opportunities for students to engage. Events are run throughout the year by students for students to show off their skills and talents including our Campus Fest and Roses Tournament. The future employability of our members is also critical and we have a team dedicated to supporting student entrepreneurs and their projects. Through our Green Lancaster initiative, our union ensures it operates in a sustainable way and has Gold Green Impact Status. We know how important it is to have an effective dialogue with our members. We have an in-house communications and IT team and do the majority of our own developments. This includes main websites, membership systems and publications. Most recently we’ve been developing ‘Pocket’ a mobile site and app. all about services and events for students in and around Lancaster. We know that with the increase in fees student’s expectations will rise and we will need to work harder in this area to make sure our members know the difference we are making for them. In addition, we have a vibrant student media including SCAN (newspaper), Bailrigg FM and LA1 TV. And over the past 12 months and in preparation for the incoming fees increase, we have been transforming our advice and support services to make them more fit for purpose. Our Education and Support Unit provides • Professional one-to-one advice to help with (key areas of expertise being academic, accommodation and finance) • Works closely with officers and staff to help shape University policies and ensure any changes have a positive impact. • Support 300+ department student reps who we train and support to give grass roots feedback.

  • Debutants Gear up for Roses | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives Debutants gear up for Roses Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Sport › News & Features Comment Varsity Roses College Cup Fantasy Football Debutants gear up for Roses This year’s Roses sees the fixture list expanded even further, and includes the tournament’s first disabled sport fixture By Rob Middleton, Sports Editor (2015/16) Tuesday 21 April 2015 IMAGE: James Hostford The 51st annual Roses tournament has five new sports added to the fixture list this year. Handball, Kendo, and Ultimate Frisbee are to be worth eight, four six points this year respectively, having been exhibition matches last year. These additions could bode well for the White Rose, having won two of the three fixtures in Ultimate Frisbee last year. Many are predicting this year’s tournament to be much closer than the last 75 point, home victory for York so any additions to the fixture list could prove pivotal. Completely new to the tournament are Rugby League and Futsal. The addition of Futsal to the Roses calendar bodes well for York. Lancaster’s Futsal club is still in its infancy, and with York’s equivalent one of the best in the country, it could be a reliable source of points for the Black and Gold this year. History will also be made, with the addition of the Roses tournament’s first disabled sport, sitting Volleyball. The fixture, which will be covered and live tweeted by Nouse, is set to take place in the Main Hall of the Sports Centre at 14:30 on Friday 24 April.

Apologies for Absence Apologies for absence had been received from Maggie Mort, Fiona Aiken and Chris Saunders 2. Welcome & introduction of new committee members The Chair welcomed Gavin Brown who was standing in for Peter Scullion as the Colleges’ Representative. 3. Minutes of the previous meeting and matters arising Reports from the July disbursement projects were circulated prior to the meeting with the committee papers. Two official reports were still outstanding from Grizedale and Bowland. However, Grizedale have verbally reported that due to them undergoing major refurbishment and construction, they wish to postpone spending their grant in case the benches get damaged. In the July meeting the committee had agreed that greater emphasis should be placed on the need for reports from awardees when informed of their grants. As a result, a report form haqs been created which will be sent to awardees with their confirmation letter as a matter of course, with a request that they must be returned before a set deadline. These forms were sent out to awardees from the July 07 meeting and consequently we had a better return of reports. Since the agenda for this meeting was circulated a new issue had come to light. In 2004, Student Support were awarded a grant of £800 to conduct market research into the effectiveness of a web- based overview of support services at Lancaster University.
