Students’ Union
Run by students, for students, our Students’ Union is at the heart of college life, helping to shape a supportive, inclusive, and vibrant community.
A nationally connected community
Our Students’ Union is affiliated with the National Union of Students (NUS). This gives us extra support for campaigns and access to national initiatives that benefit you, including the popular TOTUM discount card, which unlocks savings at hundreds of shops, restaurants and online retailers.
Want the most out of college life? A TOTUM card is your key to student discounts across the UK. You can order one directly through our Students’ Union.
What Does the SU Do?
From RAG Day to community projects, our Students’ Union creates spaces for students to celebrate and support one another. Led by an elected student committee, the Union works to:
Be a part of something greater
Looking to make friends, build leadership skills, or stand out on your CV? Our Students’ Union is the perfect place to do just that. If you want to lead an election campaign or simply share your ideas to shape the future of our college, no matter your experience, there’s a place for you in the Union.

Raise and Give Day
The Students’ Union is at the heart of our annual RAG Day – a renowned Taunton College event that sees the entire community unite to raise money for a charitable cause.
In 2024, students chose St. Margaret’s Hospice, Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, and MIND in Somerset.
