Edinburgh University Students'​ Association is an autonomous, student-led campaigning, membership organisation providing services, representation and welfare support at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.The Students'​ Association is the oldest students'​ union in the UK, originally founded as the Students'​ Representative Council (SRC) in 1884 by student Robert Fitzroy Bell. Shortly afterwards the SRC voted to fundraise and establish a union building, the Edinburgh University Union (EUU), now known as Teviot Row House. The Edinburgh University Women's Union was founded in 1906, becoming the Chambers Street Union in 1964. On 1 July 1973 the SRC, the EUU, and the Chambers Street Union merged to form EUSA.The Students'​ Association supports and oversees over 280 official student societies which provide a range of activities, events and opportunities across the student body, as well as offering a year round volunteering service for UoE students during their time in Edinburgh. The union also directly organises regular and seasonal events such as Welcome​ Week, club nights, pub quizzes, band nights, comedy, and the Graduation Ball.The Students'​ Association is a democratic membership organisation, a charitable body and a company limited by guarantee. The Students'​ Association also has complete ownership and control over a subsidiary company, EUSACO, incorporating any activity which is outside of the Students'​ Association's charitable remit, such as Edinburgh Festival and external catering activities.
