The work of cancer charities is crucial in providing support to those affected by cancer. I am extremely passionate about working alongside these charities to collectively fight the war on cancer. As a second-year Cancer Biomedicine student, my specific subject knowledge equips me to be the next president of the UCL Cancer Charities Alliance Society.
As the current academic and volunteer officer, I have been involved in every aspect of organising and running our key projects; I have managed our "Cancer Care" initiative for lung cancer awareness and was responsible for developing and running our flagship bake sale for MacMillan at every stage. This year I also worked as the marketing officer of UCL MedTech. Our successful marketing strategies improved outreach and engagement with our members and the UCL student body. I hope to emulate this success next year with UCL CCA, increasing the number of events we hold for our members.
I promise to use my insight and experience to strengthen our community, develop impactful alliances, and run inspiring events for our society.
Hi, I'm Emma, a Y1 Neuro student. lf elected, I'll create a collaborative community where everyone can:
-
📗 GROW: I’ll provide resources and opportunities for students, especially freshers, to engage with cancer research. This includes guest speakers from medical and charity fields, “Day in the Life” TikToks, and potential lab & hospital visits. A mentorship platform will pair upper-years with freshers, and a Journal Club will explore cancer in the sciences and arts.
- 💗 GIVE: This year, I curated themes for the Cancercare Newsletter and want to expand it into a multimedia format—including comic strips, illustrations, and a print edition celebrated with publishing parties. We’ll also create brochures for Maggie’s/MacMillan and a children’s book to introduce cancer in an accessible way. I’ll work with UCL Volunteering & other societies for hands-on community interaction, while continuing fundraising with bake sales and a Biomedical Charity Ball to support cancer patients.
😊 MY EXPERIENCE: As President of a music education nonprofit, I led bilingual communication, organized fundraisers, and coordinated an online teaching program. As Freshers Rep at CCA, I have skills in leadership, teamwork, and event management, and a deep love for the initiative, all of which I’ll bring to this role.
Let’s drive change together—your voice, your impact!
