About Reading Students' Union

Reading Students' Union (Reading SU) exists to improve the lives of over 19,000 University of Reading students, every day.

An independent, student-led charity, everything we do is student-inspired and, as a not-for-profit organisation, all funds raised through our activities are passed right back into the Students’ Union to benefit students.

Our charitable purpose is the advancement of the education of students at the University of Reading for the public benefit, and we achieve this by:

  • Promoting the interests and welfare of students at the University of Reading during their course of study and representing, supporting and advising students;

  • Being the recognised representative channel between students and the University of Reading and any other external bodies; and

  • Providing social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities and forums for discussions and debate for the personal development of our students.

Our mission is simple: We strive to help students be their best, most authentic selves. We celebrate the diverse backgrounds, identities and lived experiences that make up our student body, and pride ourselves on creating spaces and opportunities where everyone feels they belong and are empowered to grow, thrive and achieve their goals.
