How We Are Using Your Money...
The interactive graphic below shows how Sheffield Students' Union has set out its budget for 2011-2012. You can hover over each section to see more in depth figures. As you can see, every penny that we receive goes back into supporting you; our members!
Sheffield Students' Union is so important to students here at Sheffield, and in recognition of that the University has increased our block grant to £2.6 million. The majority of this extra money is being spent on Activities & Sport, which have seen a huge growth over the past few years. We hope this extra funding will further enhance the fantastic sports clubs and societies here at Sheffield Students' Union. We’ve also increased our spending on marketing to help promote the campaigns and events we run, as well as providing more funding to our vital advice and support services.
