Cardiff University Students’ Union (CUSU) is led and directed by over 28,000 Cardiff University student members, run by a Board of Trustees and led by seven elected student officers. CUSU is a charity offering services, resources and support. As a charity, money made through their numerous bars, cafes, shops and events is used improve the services offered to students attending Cardiff University. They offer advice, representation, training, skills development, student activities, volunteering opportunities and employment. In 2014, it was announced that Cardiff University Students' Union was voted the 4th best Students' Union in the United Kingdom, and the best in Wales in the National Student Survey.〔http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/articles/students-union-satisfaction-success-13367.html〕 The main Students' Union building is located on Park Place in Cardiff, although a secondary Union for Cardiff University students on healthcare courses is situated on the ground floor of the Neuadd Meirionnydd building on the Heath Park Campus.〔http://www.cardiffstudents.com/about-cusu/heathhub/〕 The Union building on Park Place houses shops, a food hall, a pub (The Taf), a Night Club (Y Plas) as well as student services including the Athletic Union and Guild of Societies, the Athletic Union having within the region of 5000 students actively registered each year. ==Facilities== The second floor of the Students’ Union currently houses the main reception, event function space and the recently developed Centre for Skills, Enterprise and Volunteering, as well as newly developed Food outlets, the Taf and the nightclub, Y Plas. The union's pub is called "The Taf". This is commonly mistaken to be a reference to the River Taff which runs through Cardiff, but it is actually a contraction of "Tafarn", the Welsh word for "pub". The Union has an in-house nightclub, Y Plas, which holds events throughout the week. Formerly named Solus, the Nightclub was renamed as a result of a student vote after a redevelopment of the second floor and nightclub was announced.〔http://www.cardiffstudents.com/news/article/6013/New-Year-New-Look/ major redevelopment〕 The Union can link both the Taf bar and Solus with the Great hall to make a "superclub" of 4000, making it the biggest nightclub in Cardiff, and also one of the largest in Wales. The club was renamed Y Plas in 2014, after the refurbishments.〔https://www.facebook.com/YPlasCSU/photos/a.569925566389767.1073741827.569925489723108/715078815207774/?type=1&theater〕 The third floor of the Students' Union is where students can Meet the Elected Officer team, join a Sports club or society, get involved in Student Voice and Democratic processes. A counselling service, known as Student Advice which helps with all manner of issues that students can face. The Union's Great Hall has attracted popular bands and musicians since the 1970s.
