Activities & Engagement Officer

Hi I'm Ana. 
 As the Activities & Engagement Officer, I take lead on all things Activities within the Union, focusing on the dynamic spheres of sports, societies, and volunteering initiatives.

From the lively Welcome Fair that kicks off the academic year to the spirited rivalry of Varsity and the grand celebrations of our end-of-year balls, my role is to meticulously curate and enhance the co-curricular and social experiences that our students cherish and desire. I strive to foster an inclusive and vibrant environment where every student can discover their passions, connect with peers, and make lasting memories.

I represent you by chairing the Activities Zone and sitting on the Union Executive, which any student can attend.  I also sit on several other committees to ensure your interests are represented.

Activities & Engagement Officer Updates

I write a fortnightly update report on the work I've been doing to represent you, including my progress on my manifesto pledges. My report covers updates on current projects and collaborations with different student groups, academic departments, and community organisations. 

My work, as outlined in my report, is scrutinised and voted on by other elected student leaders in our Activities & Engagement Zone. You can read more about them here Policy Zones & Union Executive.

Democratic Voting Record

As democratically elected leaders, we're accountable for the decisions we make to you, our students. Students submit policy ideas  (things they want to Students' Union to do) to our democratic spaces, which we discuss and vote on. 

Below is a record of the voting on policies introduced during the academic year 2025-2026, along with how I have voted. 

Please note: 

Policy comes to Zones first and is later brought to a meeting of the Union Executive for voting. Sabbatical Officers do not participate in all Zones and, therefore, do not vote on every policy.
