This survey on SU funding has the following purposes: 1) As NUS UK and NUS Charity membership contribution is based on a proportion of funding from your institution ('block grant') the information you provide is used to calculate membership contribution. 2) The data is also used for research purposes and published to members to help understand funding in the sector as part of the Big SU Survey. For this reason it is vital we collect accurate and consistent information on funding. In addition we collect up to date basic information about your legal structure to ensure our records are accurate. * Denotes mandatory field

We ask for this information so we can analyse trends in block grant and publish to members. Getting an understanding of predicted block grants helps other members with negotiations.
We're asking members to provide any narrative information which may be helpful for other members in negotiating a block grant. Please therefore let us know anything helpful for publication in the Big SU Survey Report in relation to your block grant. We are particularly keen to hear where members have secured an increase in funding and how you went about this so we can share best practice.
We need your student numbers for the last academic year 24/25. These are used to calculate your delegate allocations and voting rights in the democratic processes of NUS. It also allows us to work out SU funding per student, which can be a more useful way to benchmark across the sector. Errors in these details could affect your ability to engage fairly in elections and other democratic matters. If you are unsure about your student numbers for 2023/24 then please check with your registry or administration team in your institution.
In this section we ask you about the legal structure of your SU. This is for two reasons, to give us information about the legal forms of SUs and also to help us maintain NUS and NUS Charity’s register of members. As SUs are formally company law members of NUS UK/NUS Charity we must keep a register of all our members represented by a legal person.
This section is only for members who are Charitable Unincorporated Association. The register of members for both NUS UK and NUS Charity contain details of each of our members and must be represented by a legal person. As you have indicated you are an unincorporated association you must be represented by a nominated representative. Please indicate the person who should be entered into the register of members for this purpose. This is a company law requirement and the names of nominated representatives will be entered into the register. This register is available for inspection by members and third parties.
