The Sheffield College Students’ Union represents every student at the college, both locally and nationally. They represent your views to the college executive team, managers and staff led by a team of democratically elected students who meet regularly to voice, and act upon, your feedback.
Working together with The Sheffield College, the Students' Union aims to provide the best quality education and experience for all students and the local community. They also aim to provide services alongside those provided by the college and host events and stalls to gain awareness of issues we believe to be important.
Over the past few years the Students' Union have done a lot! After a successful relaunch in 2012 they have placed equality at the forefront of all they do, including:
We’ve also won a few awards along the way:
In 2015 the Students' Union worked with Sheffield University Students’ Union and Sheffield Hallam Students’ Union on numerous green projects like 'Sheffield on a Plate' and 'The Big Stew', promoting sustainability and green living. The union also worked to ensure that students were registered to vote in the 2015 General Election. One of their biggest achievements was to sign The Sheffield College up to the 'Time to Change' pledge, committing both the college and the union to ending mental health discrimination.
In 2019/20 the Students' Union have focused on promoting LGBTQ+ rights across the college, raising awareness of knife crime and have been heavily active in the Association of College's "Love Our Colleges" campaign.
