Dear Fellow Hikers,

I am excited to announce my candidacy for the position of Welfare & Outreach Officer within our esteemed UCL Hiking Club. This club has greatly enriched my life, offering everything from challenging muddy treks to unforgettable encounters with wildlife, and from scaling lofty peaks to experiencing stunning vistas. My personal achievements include completing a challenging 800 km trek on the Camino de Santiago in Spain within 28 days, and summiting Kilimanjaro (5,895m) during the reading week this February. 

However, above all these awe-inspiring experiences, it's the 'people' who have made this journey truly unforgettable. The camaraderie and diverse perspectives within our club have enriched my experience immensely, from sharing tales of adventure to engaging in heartfelt chats.

If elected, I am committed to invigorating our club’s community interactions and promoting a supportive environment focused on both mental and physical wellbeing. As for outreach, I have exciting plans for creating inclusive events that can involve members from other clubs, with the aim of strengthening existing relationships and establishing alliances with different universities.

I look forward to sharing more detailed plans and ideas, and I am eager to bring a fresh wave of enthusiasm into our beloved club!

Onward,

Jimmy
