Campaign Priorities Presented to the Students’ Union and University Exec Meeting

Early in November, we, the Elected Officers, laid out critical campaign priorities for this academic year. I will be campaigning to address student concerns and improve support systems on:

• Cost of Living Support Services at the University of Sunderland - We are committed to ensuring all students understand and access the cost-of-living support services available at the University. Transparent information is vital in empowering students to make informed decisions that ease financial pressures.
• Improving Public Transport Accessibility - Leveraging opportunities through the North East Devolved Authority, we aim to advocate for improved public transport services. Our focus is to make commuting affordable and accessible, enhancing students' overall university experience.
• Renters’ Rights and Accommodation Campaign - As part of a national campaign with National Union of Students, we are pushing to scrap guarantor requirements for student rentals, thus pushing for a fairer rental condition and exploring improvements and reform on the Renters' Rights Bill. These steps will better support students navigating the housing market.
