About LSESU
We are an independent, registered charity dedicated to helping LSE students make the most of their time at University. We are governed and managed separately from the University but work closely with them to help deliver the best for our students.
We’ve been part of LSE since 1897, and all LSE students automatically become LSESU members when they enrol. Our total income is c.£4.2m per year, which comes partly from a block grant from the University, and partly from commercial activities which generate extra revenue.
Our main services include:
Student Voice – supporting our students with representation, campaigning, policy change, and elections
Student Communities – supporting over 300+ clubs and societies, and managing the SU gym Social – running our Union events and spaces, such as the student bar the Three Tuns, and the Denning Cafe
Student Advice – providing free, independent, and confidential advice to our students
Not For Profit
All proceeds from commercial activities go back into putting on amazing events, activities, and support for students and help us to reinvest into the things we do for our members.
Job Purpose
