Support Groups

At Open SU, we have some great groups which are here to support our students throughout their Open University journey.

Please note that as we introduce changes to how students can create and run Student-Led Groups, there will also be changes to how these Support Groups operate from the end of the current Committee term on 31 December 2026.

Our aim is to create a more consistent approach across all Student-Led Groups, while continuing to provide enhanced support for groups that focus on equality, diversity and inclusion. We recognise the valuable contribution these groups make to our student community and the additional support and resources that their volunteer leads may benefit from.
