I would like to achieve a positive experience of residing in Ramsay Hall and Ian Baker House for all students and staff. I would do this by:
Making sure every student feels connected, supported and represented
Building a community in the accommodation by holding inclusive events
Increasing engagement at functions to make sure everyone is welcome and no one is left behind
Improve our recycling, increasing the number of bins for waste such as paper, tins and plastics
Fundraising events, such as cake sales, to raise money for charities
Using the TV room for events like Eurovision and football
In the past, I have volunteered at a museum as a tour guide. Before I could fully take my position I completed training on Health and Safety, Safeguarding and EDI. Whilst working at the museum I worked with the staff and other volunteers to effectively deliver outstanding visitor experience. I recieved excellent feedback from Visit England. Whilst at college I was on the student council as the Charity officer. During my time, we raised large sums of money for a variety of causes including Children in Need, Red Nose Day, a local veterans group, a homeless shelter and Macmillan Cancer Support.
I am going to listen and engage with members of our community. If I am personally unable to help with an issue, I will relay the problem to the appropriate professional. In previous positions I have been credited with being incredibly approachable. If elected I will:
Organise end of term celebrations
Increase engagement with events
Hold charity and fundraising events
Investigate the possibility to celebrate national TV events including Eurovision, Brit Awards and sporting fixtures
Improve waste management for environmental reasons
Other fresh ideas to make our halls more engaging
