Election post
Hi, my name is Giorgia! I first joined Street Aid because I felt helpless in the face of the prevalent homelessness in London. Although I couldn’t participate in the outreaches as much as I wanted to, I was immediately struck by the altruism within the group. This inspiring atmosphere made me want to become a part of the committee, working alongside people who share the same goals.
After my first outreach, I found myself feeling quite emotional. This experience motivated me to pursue the Welfare Officer role, as I want to normalise such feelings and offer support to others who may feel the same way. I consider myself approachable and easy-going, and I hope to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions.
Additionally, as a Global Humanitarian Studies student, I believe I would be a valuable asset to the team, given my knowledge about delivering aid and its implications.
