Dudley SU Wins Money Monday!
On March 24th, Dudley SU joined the national Money Monday campaign, fighting for fair pay, fair funding, and fair education. Competing against Students' Unions across the UK, we rallied over 300 signatures, securing victory in the national competition!
On Monday, March 24th, 2025, we kicked off Money Monday as part of the national campaign for a Fair Deal for Our Future – and it was nothing short of a success!
We focused on three key issues that are crucial to every student:
-
Fair Pay: Ending age-based pay discrimination and securing equal pay for apprentices.
-
Fair Funding: Ensuring students get the financial support they need, including help with transport and food.
-
Fair Education: Guaranteeing a high-quality education in a system that works for everyone.
Our mission on Money Monday was clear: get as many students as possible to sign the petition in support of these vital changes. To make it even more exciting, we had amazing incentives – chocolate coins and golden ticket prizes for students who signed up! All day long, we were out and about, talking to students and going from class to class. It was an awesome day of action.
But here's the twist – we weren’t alone. Every Students' Union in the UK was doing the exact same thing on the same day, racing against each other for the most signatures.
To make sure we went above and beyond, we ran a fierce and high-energy social media campaign to boost our in-person efforts. And the results speak for themselves: over 300 students signed the petition, making Dudley SU the winners of the Money Monday competition!
We’re proud of what we achieved, and this is just the beginning. Stay tuned to keep up with the next steps of this exciting campaign!
