‘NUS Services is owned by Students’ Unions and the National Union of Students. Our mission statement is to; ‘Create, develop and sustain competitive advantages for member Students’ Unions –reducing costs and maximising commercial revenues’ ‘ (nussl.co.uk).
Kit ran on the slogan “Get a Friend in a high place!” with the following areas of interest emphasised:
Relevant services for FE and non-traditional students.
• Support the changing needs of evolving unions.
• Making eco and ethical affordable!
• Encouraging collaboration between unions.

Founding chair of the Arts Group – a voice for small and specialist institutions and FE | Fighting the exploitation of work placements and internships | Supporting the campaign for fairer funding | Proven track record of leadership | Creative Director of the charity “With Feeling”
As part of the NUSSL board , Kit hopes to encourage a diversification of income to provide a better range of services and opportunities for a broader spectrum of students. In particular those who make up many of the Arts Group membership (small, specialist, FE etc.) need to be better served by our National Union’s commercial wing.
