Transfer of Sports to the SU & My Role in Supporting It ??
One of the biggest transitions this year has been the transfer of Sports to the Students' Union, a move aimed at providing better support, funding, and representation for student sports teams. As Activities Officer, I have been actively involved in:
- Ensuring a smooth transition, working with key stakeholders to integrate sports into the SU structure.
- Advocating for student sports teams, ensuring their voices are heard in decision-making processes.
- Helping sports clubs adjust, by providing guidance on administrative processes, funding applications, and leadership development.
This transition marks an exciting step forward in strengthening sports at our university, and I will continue working to ensure sports teams have the resources and support they need to succeed.

Committee Support & Development ??
I’ve been working on providing more tailored support for society and sports committees, including training sessions and leadership guidance to help them grow and thrive.
