About Me
Hello! I’m Alastair and this year I’m your Vice President Societies & Sport.
I’m really excited to spend the next year working with student committees across campus to make student groups the best they can be.
This year, I am aiming to:
- Strengthen the connection between the SU and student group committees, through more face-to-face contact, committee training, and platforms for student-led discussion.
- Review the way RHSU communicates with and recognises student groups for their hard work.
- Assist student groups and their members through the cost of living crisis as best we can, through the Development Fund and Access Fund, and provide more support for Treasurers and sponsorship opportunities.
Make sure you keep an eye on what all four sabbatical officers are up to over the year on our social media channels and blogs!
If you have any questions, or if there’s any way I can help your student group or student experience on campus, don’t hesitate to reach out by email or Instagram.
Looking forward to the year ahead!
The Role
The VP Societies & Sport has joint overall responsibility for developing the support the Students' Union offers to student groups on campus.
They work closely with the University's Active Lifestyle & Sport department to build relationships that aid the development of sporting activity on campus. This can include lobbying for improved facilities, high quality equipment and ensuring all students have access to different ways of keeping active.
They lead on campaigns and activities related to student health and wellbeing through sport.
Sitting on the Union’s Board of Trustees, VP Societies & Sport spends time working closely with students on campaign delivery while ensuring the Union is delivering on its strategic plan.
