Everything we do at RGUSU is rooted in one simple purpose, improving the lives of students, and with your help we can continue to deliver and support students when they need us the most.
Whether it’s cost‑of‑living assistance, wellbeing activities, or community meals such as breakfast and supper clubs, these projects provide vital support and relief to students who are increasingly facing financial pressures or personal challenges.
We exist to ensure every student at Robert Gordon University feels supported, connected, and empowered from the day they enrol to the day they graduate, and you can help us continue to deliver these important and impactful projects.
How can you help us?
You can help us to continue supporting students at RGU in one of the following ways:

Every item purchased through our RGUShop.com online store supports the SU directly. All profits are reinvested into the Students' Union and support our key student welfare, activities, and voice projects.
- Fundraise for the Students' Union
Choosing RGUSU as your charity beneficiary for a sponsored challenge, fun run, hike, cycle, marathon, or creative personal challenge, is a powerful way to support our key services and support projects. Please get in touch if you would like to support us in this way.
