Earlier this week, we were at UCEN Manchester for our North West Campaign Day, where we designed campaigns on housing, funding and transport. Thank you to all the wonderful student officers who came along!

We are back on the road! Starting this week we will travelling up and down the country to get our wonderful members' feed in to our campaigns, and also have some fun! Earlier this week, we spent time with our members from the North East and South East. Today, we are on our way to the East Midlands

Last week, we were in Parliament for the APPG for Students, talking to politicians about the need for more accessible, affordable and secure student housing. You can now read the speech given by our wonderful student panellist, Mihita Parekh, here: www.nus.org.uk/mihita-parek...

We love to hear politicians supporting apprentices and talking about why apprenticeships are so good for our country, especially with National Apprenticeship Week (England and Wales) starting Monday @andrewpakes.bsky.social We are so lucky to be able to represent apprentices as well as students!

An exciting development for the Votes at 16 campaign! Thank you @chriswardmp.bsky.social for listening to students and amplifying their voices in Parliament! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

same pay for same work! there should be one minimum wage for everyone: students, apprentices and young people included. that minimum wage should be enough to actually pay for rent, bills and food, and so should students’ maintenance support agree? sign here: www.nus.org.uk

We're demanding a Fair Deal for our Future. Our new campaign launched today demands: 1) The minimum wage for everyone, regardless of age 2) Maintenance funding in line with the Living Wage for every student Add your voice to our student movement demanding change: www.nus.org.uk/fair-deal-fo...

This is a huge win for students in Northern Ireland! Well done @nus-usi.bsky.social

Great to be in Westminster last night at the first 2025 meeting of @nus-uk.bsky.social’s APPG on Students. @alexsobel.co.uk chaired a vital, and at times heartbreaking, discussion on student housing, looking mainly at the impact of guarantor schemes to further improve the Renters’ Rights Bill.

Yesterday, we had our first APPG for Students of the new government, and our members made it one to remember! We had 10 MPs and even a Lord come to hear over 50 of our members talk about student housing and what politicians need to do to improve it for students.
