48% of students agree the Union has a positive impact on their social life, and 41% agree the Union helps them to make the most of their time as a student.

Students have called for events and activities which celebrate the diversity of the student population.

Experiencing a full student life on campus is a key priority for students, with an increasing number of students reporting that they sacrifice social participation due to financial barriers or lack of accessibility.
