EC Students' Association is here to represent all students at Edinburgh College, which means what we do adapts to suit the needs of students. That can be working on big issues that affect everyone, like how much money you have in your pocket. It can also be about commenting on the standards of facilities, teaching spaces, or the quality of food on campus. Our tag line is 'Powered by students, driven by values, committed to better' and that really is our mantra. The elected student officers are the student voice when it comes to representing you in and out of the boardroom, but it doesn’t stop there. We work on a one-to-one basis with many students who walk through our office doors, on a range of issues impacting their student experience. We also run lots of activities throughout the year that are fun and all about giving you great experiences & opportunities, such as: Welcome Week Class Rep Meetings Student Fridges on campus Societies and Activities Volunteering opportunities

Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people','Older People','People with disabilities or health problems','People with a particular ethnic or racial origin'
