The University of Nottingham Students' Union (often abbreviated as UoNSU[3] ( /ˈjɒnsuː/)) is the students' union at the University of Nottingham, England. It is a representative body that aims to represent students to both the university and the wider community.
The Students' Union is housed in the Portland Building on University Park campus, a building shared with some non-student union activities. The union receives a block grant from the university of over £2 million to support its activities, although the union also raises money through income streams such as the Union shop and a bar.
All members of the University of Nottingham are automatically members of the Students' Union, unless they use their right to opt out of membership.[4] As such the University of Nottingham Students' Union has over 34,000 members.[5] The Union obtained charitable status in 2010 and is overseen by a Board of Trustees made up of student-elected sabbatical officers and full-time staff.[5]
