Xinyu Zhang

Just imagine our club having heavily discounted equipment, sponsored food for socials, or even reduced costs for residential and camping trips — how great would that be? That’s exactly the kind of support I want to help bring to the club next year.

I’m Xinyu, a first year Earth Sciences student, and I’d like to run for Sponsorship Officer for UCL Hiking Club. This year, I have already been involved in a sponsorship role as part of the subcommittee, and that experience has made me even more enthusiastic about applying for the full position. It has given me a better understanding of how much potential sponsorship has to support the club, and how important it is to build partnerships that benefit members.

That’s why I’d love the opportunity to contribute more through this role. I want to continue securing sponsorships and developing partnerships that make a real difference to our members — from discounts on equipment, to support for socials events, to prizes and collaborations for other trips. My aim is to make the club even more exciting, accessible, and rewarding for members.

I believe I would be a strong fit for this role not only because I already have sponsorship experience and understand how this operates, but also because I’m confident in reaching out to people, following up on opportunities, and representing the club in a professional way. 

If you like my ideas and want to see more nice discounts for our club next year, then please vote me!
