Goldsmiths Students' Union

Goldsmiths Students' Union (GSU) is the independent, democratic representative organisation for students at Goldsmiths, University of London. It functions as a registered charity (charity number 1194727) that operates separately from the university to advocate for and support students in academic, social, and welfare matters. The Union is located in New Cross, London, and is affiliated with the National Union of Students of the United Kingdom.[1][3][5]

Governance and Structure

GSU is governed by a Trustee Board responsible for ensuring legal compliance, financial accountability, and alignment with the Union’s vision and values. The Union is predominantly funded by a block grant from the College but operates independently in its representation and support functions.[3][5]

The Union is led by elected student officers who serve as representatives and trustees. Elections are held annually, typically in the spring, and the process is independently verified by a returning officer from the National Union of Students. The leadership team includes four full-time paid officers and approximately fourteen part-time positions, serving various roles to represent the diverse student body.[1][5]

Activities and Advocacy

Goldsmiths Students' Union actively advocates on behalf of students on wide-ranging issues, including academic concerns, welfare support, and social engagement. The Union organizes events, campaigns, and workshops that promote student welfare and foster a vibrant campus life.

A democratic approach guides the Union’s policies and decision-making. Student members participate in meetings where policies are proposed, debated, and passed. Notable active policies include support for women’s reproductive rights, safe space initiatives, anti-discrimination stances (including transphobia and Islamophobia), and campaigns addressing staff welfare and university governance.[4]

The Union also engages in wider political and social movements, passing motions related to fossil fuel divestment, solidarity with Palestine, and opposing university transformation programmes that impact staff and students.[4]

Publications and Media

GSU publishes an Annual Impact Report documenting its work, campaigns, and achievements. This report is presented to both the college management and the student body to maintain transparency and accountability.[1]

The Union also supports student media such as The Leopard newspaper, Smiths Magazine, and Wired radio, which contribute to a dynamic student culture and provide platforms for student expression.[1]
