I joined Street Aid in first year and really enjoyed it. This year, being on the committee, I’ve come to appreciate it even more. Street Aid allows me to dedicate my time to helping others, and as a Global Humanitarian Studies student, it feels like my way of giving aid in a practical and immediate way. Homelessness is such a significant issue in London, and while as students we may not be able to solve it, Street Aid gives us the opportunity to contribute in small but meaningful ways, whether that’s handing out hot drinks, offering extra layers of warmth, or simply showing people that others care. As Welfare Officer this year, I’ve been lucky to work with such kind co-committee members and meet so many people who come along to outreaches. That sense of community is what makes Street Aid special.
That’s why I’m standing for Vice President. I want to continue being part of this society throughout my time at UCL, and I’d love the chance to help support and grow something that already means so much to me.
