Urban Farmers Society: Communications Officer

Hi everyone! I'm Kapil and I'd like to be your next Communications officer for our farm. ? 

As your Communications officer, I will publicise events and handle our farm's social media. As the head editor of my sixth form's magazine, I was responsible for managing its blog and Instagram handle. Thus, I have experience in managing social media for a society. This experience has prepared me to be the next Communications officer for Bentham's Farm. ?‍?

Other reasons you should vote for me:

1. I am a relentless extrovert and will consciously and subconsciously promote our little farm and get more people involved! ? 

2. I make funny posts and come up with (occasionally corny) captions so I can increase engagement on our Instagram. ? 

3. Additionally, I live at Ifor Evans Hall so I live approximately 20 seconds away from the farm. In case there are any plant-based emergencies, I will be the first responder! ?

I hope you vote for me as your next Communications officer! Feel free to message me at @kapil._.abhyankar on Instagram if you want to get in touch with me. ? 

Hi! My name is Kamaree, and I am a first-year student who would like to be the communications officer for this society because I strongly support the opportunity it provides for students to experience a welcoming, calming environment, while also encouraging environmentally friendly behaviour.  Since starting at university, I have attended past sessions of the society and greatly enjoyed my time there, as it is a relaxing and fun space, so I would appreciate the chance to contribute to promoting this society and its events.

I joined Urban Farmers society earlier this year and I really enjoy the friendly, open and welcoming atmosphere. As a first year student that is new to London (and who was a bit overwhelmed), Urban Farmers is a space where I can destress on the weekends, while also doing something fulfilling and impactful.

I live right next door to the farm in Ifor Evans, which makes my involvement very easy and convenient, and I am able to visit the farm on a daily basis. As communications officer, I would regularly be present at the farm, along with the rest of the team, as well as visit the farm at different times during the week and publicising the progress we are making. Additionally, the stress-free, inviting atmosphere due to the society not being a commitment-heavy or academic society is one that makes it unique and should be showcased on the society's instagram page. Thus, I hope to be able to present the society's lighthearted nature (no pun intended!) and show potential members that Urban Farmers is a place for everyone! As for current members, regular pictures of their progress will be shared on the WhatsApp group, with interactive ways of viewing them so as to keep things interesting (i.e. through regular, fun short videos that recap each week's session).

Bentham's Farm is a beautiful hidden part of UCL, and I hope I am selected as Communications Officer and am able to be more involved in this unique society.
