This year I joined the club as fresh-faced fresher and hockey beginner, and immediately felt incredibly welcomed and at home with you all. I’ve made an amazing group of friends, and I never thought I’d ever say this, but Wednesdays are my favourite day of the week!
I would therefore love to be your Welfare Secretary next year. I think I would be a good welfare sec, as I’m always at training and at (nearly!) every social, and therefore a face you would regularly see. I’m approachable, friendly, and always happy to lend a helping hand (see photo of me graciously tying 1XI cap shoelaces in Scala). So, if you’re struggling with a wardrobe malfunction, have a sick friend that needs to be taken care of, or just in need of a hug, then I’m your girl.
As your welfare sec I would plan events alongside the social and volunteering secs, these could include:
- Bowling, crazy golf and Lido swimming during Mental Health Week
- Museum trips and talks during Black History Month
- More mixed activities (like a sports day) with the boys during Pride Week
I would also keep Mimi’s initiative of a weekly drop in with the option of making it campus based where possible. I would work closely alongside the team captains to ensure everyone is happy and settled at training as well as at socials, and that all of you get the very most out of your UCLWHC experience.
