'For students as students' is a summary statement of how Students' Unions must act at all times due to the [[Charities Act (2006)]].
We cannot act for students as individuals, otherwise we would be a charity for everything and everyone. We are not that- we are a charity that has specific objectives ('objects')- see [[Salford SU's charitable objects]].
