Partnering with the University and Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, we'll be planting native tree species in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, to boost biodiversity, reduce flood risk, and capture carbon. It's our way of making a real, positive impact, but we need your help...

For every 100 votes in the HSU Officer Election, we'll fund the planting of one tree 🌳 With your help, we can boost that number!

Still on the fence about voting? Let this be your sign.

Voting is now closed

HSU Officers are elected each year by the student body and work full-time for us, representing all students to the highest levels of the University and working to bring real change to the student experience. There are six Officers, one for each College (Business, Technology & Engineering, Health, Wellbeing & Life Sciences, and Social Sciences & Arts), an International Students' Officer, a Wellbeing, Sport & Physical Activity Officer, and a President.

Get your hands dirty

We're looking for volunteers to help us plant our trees. Interested? Email volunteering@shu.ac.uk for more info on volunteering with our planting team. The time even counts towards your Hallam Award!
