Campaigns

UCLU supports a huge range of campaigns on everything from struggling against poverty pay and education cuts on our own campus, to campaigning for free higher education, to promoting global justice and the environment – we are here for you.

Take Action!

Do you have an issue about UCL or UCLU that you think needs to be changed? If so, we want to hear about it. Anything from your experience in lectures, the quality of facilities on campus, to the opening hours of the library can be submitted to the Union.

If you simply want to share your issue and let UCLU take it forward on your behalf, then tell us about it here.  All issues will be considered by Union staff and elected Officers and we’ll do our best to act to create change for you. This may mean that the issue is raised with senior management at UCL, developed into Union Policy to direct the Union’s position on an issue, or lead into a campus-wide campaign. You don’t have to do anything if you don’t want – just let us know your issue and we’ll do the rest!

If you want to run your own campaign with the Union’s support including training, funding and campaigning expertise, then all you need to do is tell us your idea here with some details on your campaign issue, why the issue needs changed and who (if anyone)  is going  to help you in your campaign. We will then arrange a meeting with our expert campaign staff to discuss your idea further and to develop your ideas into a campaign proposal which you will be asked to present to a Campaigns Panel made up for staff and students. If your proposal is approved by the Panel, you will then have the full range of support that UCLU can offer.

If you have any questions about how to submit an idea, please contact uclu-campaigns@ucl.ac.uk.
