HOW DOES IT WORK?
  1. You submit an idea
  2. Talk to the SU about the idea and decide if its feasible.
  3. SU Staff assess the idea and categorise it as:

    • Medium: requires slightly less time and resources to achieve. The SU will commit to spending a term working on this project
    • Long: requires lots of time. The SU will commit to spending a year working on this project
  4. Your idea is added to the website for discussion by students
  5. Your idea is voted on by students
    • Short: Needs 5% of the affected student body to be in favour. The idea is open for voting for a full term or until it hits quoracy.

    Provide Inclusive £2 meals that all students can eat- Short term

      All £2 meals should be inclusive for everyone to eat. Non-meat foot is cheaper to make and more sustainable. If it is cheaper, then the £2 meals can occur for longer for everyone - lets be honest no ones knows how the long cost of living crisis will be! Lets all £2 meals be Vegan friendly (and not just pasta shells and pesto). If people insist on meat then they can for an extra 50p-£1 (still cheaper than most other meals).

      Which Campus is this idea for - Southend/Colchester/Loughton/All

    2:31pm on 27 Apr 23 Lagoons and plant based alternatives need to defiently be used to achieve this. This also makes sure things are halal. Maybe food in slow cookers, as this is easy cheap and healthy. Currys, pasta with hearty sauces, chilli, sweet potatoes. More homely healthy food.

    5:52pm on 6 Mar 24 I agree. They sound great and are decent portions but it's rare that I can have any (vegan). There's none that I've seen that are gluten free etc either.
