My main priority is getting the Union bar restored. It is ridiculous that, as students living in the most expensive city in Europe, we can’t have our own fully functioning bar that gives us cheaper drinks. |

My main priority is the mental health and wellbeing of all students, not only doing the same course as me but outside. The reason I say this is because mental health is a big topic when it comes to understanding how individuals are able to cope with themselves in our out of university. I believe this to be addressed in a formal manner. |

I want to expand and reform the way the union works with its communities (societies & sports teams), and its regular members. More funding, more resources, more autonomy. We need to present a bold idea of student-lead communities, where the SU is a resource, not a hindrance. Some examples are giving direct access to account funds, increasing funding to £1,5k per society, per year, and better room bookings. This way, we will have the tools in our own hands to make a better campus. |
