The University of Sheffield students’ union provides a store, nightclub, and is home to over 300 student-run societies.

This year, the officers are trying to launch a campaign to inspire students to vote for better-funded education.

Their demands are to all student loans by 2,700 pounds, provide better housing, and have people pay back their loans based on what they earn.

The Union has been voted best SU in the country six years running – now, they’re aiming to use this to reach a national audience, and are bringing other universities all over the country into their plans.

However, a delay to their plans has made organising the scheme tough. Usually, it takes 10 days for a petition to be reviewed by the government.

For them, it’s nearly been a month.

They’re not sure what’s going on, but they aren’t able to progress with the campaign until it’s been solved.

With the support of Central Sheffield’s MP Abtisam Mohammed, they still have their sights set high, and are hoping eventually a new group of student officers can take the project over.
