Our Values

Our values shape how we work, how we make decisions and how we support our members.

They guide the way we work with students, each other and our wider community, helping us make sure that what we do always puts our members at the heart of it.

Driven by You

Students are at the heart of what we do.

We listen to our members and respond to their changing needs, ideas and experiences. We create opportunities for students to have their say, choose who represents them and take the lead on the things that matter to them.

We give our members the confidence, support and tools to shape their own agenda, challenge themselves and others, and take responsibility for making change happen.

Open to All

Everyone should feel welcome at Brunel.

We want our Union to be a safe, friendly and welcoming place for everyone. We actively work to remove barriers, challenge inequality and create opportunities for all students to take part and feel they belong.

Above all, we treat people with respect, compassion and friendliness.

Passionately Positive

We care about what we do and always look for ways to make it better.

We are passionate about our purpose and about making a positive difference to our members' university experience.

We have a can-do attitude, look for opportunities rather than obstacles and encourage our members to do the same. We are always learning, improving and looking for ways to make things better.

Integrity

We do the right thing, even when it isn't the easiest thing to do.

We are honest, open and accountable for our decisions and our actions. We take responsibility for what we do, listen to different views and are clear about why we make decisions.

We aim to do the right thing for our members and our communities, and to earn and maintain their trust.
