Tins is my 2nd year at Varsity, previously I have been involved in both bursary campaigns and participated in other areas of Union activity.
Welfare services are in serious danger of being reduced, (particularly the creche service), or of students being asked to subsidise them up to 75% of rec. centre costs.)
In the light of these dangers the job of the welfare office is very important. I see the job as two-fold; obviously we cannot accept reductions in present welfare services and I will work to ensure that action is taken to prevent any such reduction. Also we must look to expanding our welfare services in the future, particularly in the field of dental fees, this also I shal endeavour to do.
I am confident that I can handle the responsibilities of this position, but only by combined action and vigorous student participation in the various fightback campaigns will we achieve any degree of success.
