Pole Fitness Club: Charity and Outreach Officer

Pole Fitness Society has been a huge part of my UCL experience and I have found so many amazing, loving, welcoming people. Now, in my last year at UCL, I want to join the committee as a Charity & Outreach Officer and continue the great work done so far in raising money for important societal causes.

In the past, I have raised money for charities such as Mind and now I want to bring this experience into Pole Fitness.

I am planning to

• plan showcases for an even wider range of charities that focus on anything from mental health and crisis helplines to ending abuse, sexism, and racism
• organise more panels and campaigns that raise awareness of safety in sports societies, as well as promote a healthy work-life balance and wellbeing during our degrees
• collaborate with other Pole Fitness societies in London towards spreading awareness of our lovely, stylish, fabulous sport and ending the stigma around it
• promote a safe and welcoming culture not only as part of the society, but as part of the entire TeamUCL
• continue the work towards helping new members of our society feel empowered
• overall have an awesome time with you all lovely souls <3

Over the years I spent at UCL, the society has offered me more than just a space to train, it has given me a home, life-long friendships, and a safe and supportive environment to experiment with movement and explore different styles of dancing. Now, it's my time to give back and help to continue making the society a welcoming, inclusive, and empowering space for everyone. I am especially interested in what the society does to support our local community and important causes and I know that, by joining committee as a Charity and Outreach Officer, I would be able to use my experience with safeguarding, outreach, and charity work to ensure that we continue to make a difference. So please vote for me! If you can't quite picture who I am, I am the girl with long hair and minimal clothing who always tells everyone how great they're doing and take the best pictures from the most flattering angles! I also hosted the Bloomsbury Spring Showcase so you know how fun I am ;)

I joined the society this year as a fresher and was so grateful to find a society that is so warm and welcoming! As the charity and outreach officer I hope to help connect the society to charities in where we can share the warm, welcoming atmosphere with organisations.

 

I am really enthusiastic, approachable and love having conversations with people which I think makes me perfect for this outreach role that requires such great communication skills.
