Manifesto points
Work in partnership with external sports organisations
I want our clubs to work in partnership with external sport organisations such as the IFA, Ulster Rugby, Netball NI, Ulster GAA and many others!
Volunteering and coaching opportunities
Working in partnership with external sport organisations in turn creates opportunities for our sports members, allowing them to gain coaching qualifications, volunteer and network with possible future empolyers.
Building a Community & Cross Club collaboration
We may be in 4 different locations, but we’re one, we are; Ulster University. I hope to build on this with cross campus sport clubs networking events and cross club collaboration. By becoming a community, we can look fierce, sharp and proficient to the outside world. While also building lifelong friendships, a sense of togetherness and increasing the craic that is very much needed at university!
Gym Opening hours
I would like to expand the gym opening hours to cater for all our students, not just the average fresher but also the postgrad, the PHD, the carer, the parent etc. This could not only increase participation, but it could have the potential to increase all of our students’ health & wellbeing.
Widening access & breaking down barriers
If re-elected, I would focus on the question of ‘What are the barriers to sport?’ As a student that participated in recreational sport, I would like to find out what is stopping non-sport members from getting involved in sport. This may be membership fees, confidence, never haven taken up sport before, a gap in our sport clubs etc. whether it’s a physical or mental barrier it is my hope to remove these barriers and ensure that sport is welcoming to all.
