In an attempt to help students today reduce their costs of life at University The 1-500 Club creates an online community where students can harness their collective buying power and link up with local businesses to access great money saving deals !! But that's not all folks, check out these other cool features : THE VIBE :Messaging and Chat but exclusive to your University. Photos, wall, 1to1. DEALS :Save with great deals and offers from LOCAL businesses and National favourites. BUY/ SELL :And swap or track down items you want, again all within your University or national. GAMES : The latest funky, "can't put down"​ arcade and mind blowing games. PRIZES : Win an iPod, a holiday or even a cool Campervan !! Based in Preston, The 1-500 Club is the idea of Luke Massie, a local entrepreneur who spotted an opportunity to harness the significant buying power of the student community to help support local businesses. The 1-500 Club creates a member only online student community specific to UCLAN, Preston's own university. Within this community in addition to being able to access offers and discounts from local businesses, students will be able to buy, sell and swap items, find local jobs, access news items, games, competitions and chat using "The Vibe"​ a dedicated member only forum where students can talk to other students on their course or within the university.
