Become part of the Leicester 100?
The Leicester 100 is a representative panel that will sit at the heart of decision-making within our Students’ Union. They will be voting on student policies, determining whether they are to be passed. There will be four Leicester 100 meetings during the academic year and we are looking for students to join the Leicester 100. All members are paid for attending and contributing at our usual student staff rate with full paid training and guidance being provided to all members before the first meeting.
The meetings will all start at 6.15 pm (arrival from 6.00 pm) on the following dates:-
- Tuesday 4 November 2025
- Tuesday 2 December 2025
- Tuesday 10 February 2026
- Thursday 30 April 2026
Why is the Leicester 100 important?
As we are led by students, it is crucial we aim for the voices we hear to be reflective of our wider student population. At Leicester, we have a vastly diverse student body, and as a Students’ Union, we have an established commitment to reflect this diversity. As part of this commitment, we are establishing the Leicester 100 to centre this across our policy voting system. The ‘100’ will be selected to proportionally represent the wider student population, measured against the protected characteristics as outlined in the Equality Act 2010. Representation of these characteristics is key, particularly in positions of policy regulation and approval, to work as a safeguard against monopolising, marginalising views, and to operate on behalf of our students as a whole. We are at the start of ever-evolving, forward-thinking, and future-creating change, led by the Leicester 100.
How do I apply to become part of the Leicester 100?
Applications to become part of the Leicester 100 will open in early September. You will be asked to complete a simple application form, once applications have closed our Data and Insight Team will then review the applications to ensure that our Leicester 100 is as representative of the student population as possible.
