What is Welfare & Community Zone?
Welfare & Community Zone is a core democratic function of the Students' Union where a group of elected student representatives discuss, ideas and policy proposals relating student wellbeing on campus and in the wider UCL community.
The Welfare & Community Officer is the Chair of Welfare & Community Zone. If you would like to ask the Welfare & Community Officer a question at an upcoming Welfare & Community Zone, or if you would like to arrange a time to meet with them please complete this form here.
All students can attend these meetings and suggest ideas, but only elected representatives have the ability to vote on policy.
