What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

If elected, some of my niche plans are:

  • ‘Adopt a Grandfriend’ Program: Pair students with elderly residents in the community to exchange letters, stories, or virtual conversations, fostering intergenerational connections.
  • ‘Dinner in the Dark’ Experiences: Host sensory awareness events where participants dine in complete darkness, guided by visually impaired volunteers, to raise awareness and funds for visual impairment charities.
  • ‘Paws for a Cause’ Initiative: for animal welfare.
  • ‘Ideas for Impact’ Think Tank: A forum for students to brainstorm and develop actionable volunteering plans.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

Hi everyone! I’m Sejal. As an experienced volunteer in many charities, I have led multiple plantation drives, fundraising activities, blood and clothing banks, and have implemented projects like GrandFriend. Over the past few years, volunteering my services as a tutor to 60+ underprivileged girls from secondary and primary levels made me realise that there is so much good that you can do in society. Motivating over 30 of these girls to be first-generation high school students is something that I take pride in. It’s not just about preaching volunteering, it’s about practising it!

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

Let’s just not preach volunteering, Let’s practice it! My goal is to create a more connected, informed, and proactive volunteering community at UCL. It’s all about how we as privileged UCL students can do our bit to give back to the society which has given us so much, which is responsible for where we are today, which is responsible for us being here at UCL. By standing in this election, I believe I’m doing my bit of an effort for a better society, now it’s time for you to do your bit of an effort and VOTE FOR ME!

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it!
