Amber Rajham

Hi, I'm Amber. I study History and Politics of the Americas, and I'm running for Labour Society Treasurer.

Having been an active member of Labour for a few years now, I am well familiarised with the structure of the Labour Party and want to serve it and the student body as best as I can. I have previously held the roles of Ethnic Minorities Officer in Mid Essex Young Labour and was Women's Officer in the exec. of my previous constituency’s Labour Party.

I therefore believe I am ready to take the next step as Treasurer of the Labour Society at UCL, I plan to continue to organise and budget for events, just as I have in my previous roles, by ensuring we are able to carry out socials, debates, and meetings in a well-executed manner. With my platform, I would also contact political figures to create a space for the society to have talks, presentations, and networking events, as well as enjoying more informal discourse in our regular socials.

I also aim to use our budget for conferences or more formal socials at the end of the year, whilst reaching as many students as possible.

Thank you for reading, and I hope I have your vote!

Calum W Griffiths

Labour Society has provided me with  countless thoughtful, engaging conversations and vastly widened my knowledge of British politics. I want to give back to this society, using my time and skills to help both it and the political party it represents.

As a certain former prime-minister has shown us, that there are few things more important than a balanced, sensible approach to finance. With previous experience as a treasurer in my school’s student council and an organizer of its debate club and MUN team, I have a background in management that makes me well equipped for the responsibilities of the role. As treasurer, I would work to make the society as accessible as possible through keeping membership fees as low as possible. Money should never act as a factor excluding people from the society, or dissuading them from campaigning or organizing for the party. In a city as expensive as London, the last thing I’d want to do is cause the society to become a strain on student budgets. I’d prioritize keeping events affordable and offsetting costs for our members whenever possible. If elected, I’d work tirelessly to ensure that this remains a society for the many, not the few.
