We are so excited to share our vision for the organisation over the next three years as our new strategic plan is released. It’s a plan built around inclusivity, accessibility and kindness, whilst creating valuable, meaningful opportunities and a sense of belonging for our members.
"Our main priority as a Students’ Union is to ‘make life better for students at Bucks’. Through dynamically supporting and representing our membership we will ensure they get the very best from their time at BNU. As an organisation that prides itself on progressive development, that support and representation can take many forms that we will touch upon in this plan. From personal experience, I know that my time at university would not have been as transformational without the interventions and opportunities created by my Students’ Union and I truly believe that membership of Bucks Students’ Union makes the BNU experience uniquely rewarding.
We have engaged in extensive consultation with our stakeholders and believe this plan is taking us in the right direction to meet their expectation. This will ensure that our offer represents the diverse interests and requirements of the communities we serve and that both students and staff are well equipped to make a positive impact. This document not only gives us focus for the next three years but also enables us to clearly communicate our intent and the way we wish to go about our business, which we hope will inspire those around us to engage with our vision and mission and share our values.
Knowing the Union as I do, firstly as a student beneficiary of our work and now as a member of the team, I am fully confident that we will deliver on our commitments and meet our goals. This enables the Union to continue making positive change, placing us at the heart of the University’s offer, while amplifying our members’ voices as the tenacious, credible and proactive ‘critical friend’ the institution deserves. We are extremely grateful to everyone who has contributed so far and give thanks in advance to those who will be part of our story over the next few years." - Brandon Tester, Students' Union President 2023-24.
