Wellbeing and welfare

Within my role, I work on student wellbeing and welfare, mental, sexual and physical health, security, and personal safety. I chair the Wellbeing Subcommittee, which promotes all areas of student wellbeing through events and themed weeks, as well as running safety campaigns linked to Raisin and May Dip. I also work closely with multiple student groups including StAnd Together, Nightline and Saints LGBT+, and work with Student Services and the University, representing students on issues related to student wellbeing.

Equal opportunities

I line manage a number of SRC councillors, helping them to represent students on equal opportunities issues including racial equality, gender equality, age equality, disabilities, widening access and participation, and LGBT+. As part of this, I chair the Equal Opportunities subcommittee. I also work on interfaith issues, and represent students to the University on equality and diversity issues by sitting on a range of committees and working groups.

Elections

As Director of Wellbeing, I organise the yearly Students' Association Elections. Councils is a great way to get involved in the Students' Association and make a difference in the student community. For more information about the student elections and how to run, visit the elections page.
