York St John Students’ Union is based in York and serves 5,500 students.  We run a variety of commercial and non-commercial services to assist students during their time at York St John University and to enrich the overall student experience. The Union has 3 sabbatical officers – President, Vice President Education & Welfare and Vice President Student Activities. These sabbatical officers are responsible for overseeing the whole of the Students’ Union’s operations, and representing the student point of view. We have a Bar, a Shop and a Coffee Bar. We administer the activities of almost 50 clubs and societies. We further provide welfare and advice; offer support for students on academic issues; and organise volunteering and development opportunities. We also run campaigns such as Pick it Up, Colin the Cactus drink spiking and we created the SSHH! (Silent Students Happy Homes) campaign which is now used by many other students’ unions.
