Elected

I am running for the role of Welfare and Volunteering Officer because I hope to ensure that Law for All remains a supportive and inclusive environment for all. Speaking from experience as a second-year history student, trying to find your way into a legal career from a non-law background can certainly be daunting enough as is. As such, I would love the opportunity to help foster a welcoming space for people to get involved. Gender and racial barriers and discrimination will not stand, and I promise to act as a point of contact for anyone who may encounter any issues or inappropriate behaviour in this regard.

In terms of volunteering, I have previously acted as a mentor to students at a local secondary school and have participated in fundraising campaigns, such as for the Great Ormond Street Hospital. I can attest to how rewarding these experiences have been and believe that they have equipped me with the ability to bring a level of care and patience in order to see things through. If elected, I aim to liaise with various charities and organisations to help broaden our network as a society and to encourage participation in these activities.

Overall, the welfare of Law for All is extremely important and I will do my best to safeguard against any issues, even if that simply means being a friendly presence in the day-to-day goings of the society. I am always open for a chat and hope you will trust me with this role.
