Gaurav Bohra

Coming to uni, I was looking for something familiar in a new place, people who’d make London feel like home, and welcome me with open arms. HSoc was that from the start. It wasn’t just the big events; it was the small moments too. The first social at Chaiiwala at the beginning of term is where I met some of my closest friends. Being an FYR has let me see even more of what goes into creating that atmosphere by working closely with the committee, and it’s made me want to step up and give back.

I’m standing for Treasurer because it matches my skills and how I work. Studying Economics has trained me to think ahead, weigh trade-offs, and keep things structured. As Financial Director of a YE company, I learnt how to keep finances organised, make decisions with limited resources, and stay clear and accountable when things get busy. It also gave me the confidence to lead, take ownership, bring people together, and make sure plans get delivered. In sixth form, as Head of Culture Society, I organised a charity Diwali Ball that raised around £2,500, which taught me budgeting, planning, coordinating people, and staying calm when things don’t go perfectly. As Treasurer, I’ll work closely with the President, keep budgets and accounts tight, follow Students’ Union rules, and build strong relationships with sponsors and suppliers so events run smoothly.

HSoc feels like home to so many of us. I want to protect that feeling and help it grow fairly, openly, and with purpose as your Treasurer.
