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.
Welfare and Community Zone meetings take place 5 times each academic year.
