Designed to reward and recognise the very best students’ union for their commitment to London 2012, the accreditation rewards and recognises the effort shown by students’ unions in creating an environment for Games inspired activity to flourish.

Without support and guidance from students’ unions and the officers and staff that form their backbone students wouldn’t be able to play such a role in London 2012 inspired activity.

Following the final wave of accreditation, 44 students’ unions have now achieved the Be a Champion's gold, silver of bronze status. A full list of unions who have achieved accreditation is below:
