Jcr Welfare And Communities Officer
Lancashire, England, United Kingdom
I took on the role of Welfare & Communities Officer in July 2022. In this role, I am responsible for promoting the welfare of all members of the college including (but not limited to) LGBTQ+, Disability, International, Racial & Ethnic Minority, Women+ and Mature Students. I am responsible for leading campaigns for the rights of all students within the college, and ensuring that they are all treated equally and fairly. In Welcome Week 2022, I liaised with the liberation group officers in the Student Union and organised a 'Find Your Communities' event, inviting each officer to describe their liberation group and how to get involved. I worked with the College President to plan Furness Welcome Week, which was incredibly successful.I also write the Welfare article for our college newspaper; for example, I have written an article on breast cancer awareness. This has given me experience in researching and being resourceful.
