The NUS Awards 2014 are a celebration of the work in your union; from officers and staff, to inspirational students and unsung heroes – a chance to reflect on the past year, celebrate achievements and share amazing stories from across the country.

Sixty four students’ unions made it through to the finals and 14 winners were finally announced at the gala awards ceremony in Bolton on Thursday night.

In front of over 700 faces from across the student movement; 14 students’ unions and their staff, officers and volunteers received their awards from national president Toni Pearce and deputy president Raechel Mattey; including awards for outstanding contributions from individual students, sports clubs and societies as well as for ground-breaking work in equality and diversity and enterprise.

With the standard higher than ever, the agonising decisions were the responsibility of nineteen judges from across organisations in the education sector and beyond.

Also receiving awards were six students’ unions who had taken part in the Students’ Union Evaluation Initiative (SUEI) – a project set up to recognise work in students’ unions across the UK and providing a framework for improvement. The final SUEI awards were presented by the co-founder of the scheme, Di Boston.

The continuing success of the NUS Awards relies on the submissions from dedicated activists and staff from across the movement. This year you nominated in record numbers – thank you to everyone who took part.
