Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

For the Welfare Rep (Societies) role, I intend to bring a combination of empathy, active listening, and a commitment to promote well-being to the student community. 

  • Having volunteered as a peer mentor in my high school, I am skilled in providing supportive, non-judgmental spaces where individuals feel comfortable sharing their concerns.
  • As a member of the student union in my high school, conflict resolution has taught me to approach sensitive situations diplomatically. I have developed problem-solving skills that allow me to respond effectively to members’ needs.
  • Additionally, I am familiar with the university’s mental health and support resources, enabling me to connect members with the right help. Above all, I am passionate about fostering an inclusive environment and am excited to contribute to the welfare and well-being of fellow society members.

 

What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
  •  The primary goal could be to foster a more welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where every member feels valued and supported. I would establish regular check-ins, either through informal gatherings or anonymous feedback channels, to ensure all members feel comfortable expressing their concerns. I also would open one-to-one discussion slot so that people might feel safer discussing one on one.
  • Many students may not know about the welfare resources available. I could aim to increase awareness by organizing workshops, sharing information on support services, and providing guidance on how to access mental health, financial, or academic resources within the university.
  • Creating a peer support network among societies, offering members a safe space to share experiences and support one another. I would organize peer-led sessions, perhaps inviting guest speakers or alumni who have experience in wellness topics, to help students feel connected and supported by their community.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.

As Welfare Rep (Societies), I am committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where every member feels supported and understood. With experience in active listening, problem-solving, and advocacy, I am ready to address members’ welfare needs and connect them to helpful resources. I will work diligently to represent our society’s concerns in the Welfare & Community Zone, focusing on promoting mental health, well-being, and inclusivity for all. By voting for me, you’ll choose a dedicated and compassionate representative who is passionate about supporting the welfare and positive experience of every society member.
