Why vote for Ash?

Since the beginning of my time at the University, I have devoted a substantial amount of time to student representation. It is an area very close to my heart. I subscribe to the idea that university is for us, students, and so should the Students' Union - SUSU should first and foremost be for students, by students. This is why I put my name forward to be your Student Trustee last year, and it is why I would love to continue my work for another.

The world is a scary place, and it is only getting more difficult with the continuing cost of living crisis; controversial government policy; and court rulings threatening the rights of the most vulnerable of us. SUSU needs strong, student first leadership that intimately understands these issues and is unafraid to stand up to them. A trustee's responsibility is to make sure that the SUSU senior leadership makes decisions which further the Union's charitable objectives and follow its strategy, as well as being financially responsible. It is not an easy job, requiring many hard decisions to be made - which I am prepared to do again. These are things I have already been doing, actively contributing to the trustee board and critically assessing every decision we make, keeping in mind the best interests of clubs and societies, the wonderful SUSU staff, and the student body at large. It is not an easy job, requiring many hard decisions to be made - which I am prepared to do again.

You have trusted me once, and I humbly ask you to do so again. Vote Ash #1 if you believe in strong student activism and continued responsible decision making.
