The foundation of us as a union is to be there for our Members; to provide outstanding student opportunities and to encourage and embrace every student.
The Union and University jointly and successfully established Chooseday Chill, an informal event designed to attract students that would otherwise not actively seek wellbeing support. This regularly attracted over fifty students each week.
All societies implemented a formal Inclusion Officer as a person who was trained and tasked to prioritise the wellbeing of club members as well as ensuring members felt included.
Wellbeing Officers
