Sumpa Abbey

As a member of the liberation slate, my overarching goal is to ensure students are liberated and have the confidence and support to enact meaningful change in their environment. Therefore, I want increased financial support and access to material resources like food and accommodation, but also emotional support like therapy.

I want to strengthen campus community by ensuring that the diversity of student experience is advocated for, and that marginalised groups are represented. This includes improving the wellbeing system and streamlining communication between tutors, wellbeing teams and the Guild. It also includes democratising the Guild, protecting students' right to protest and providing clear action in response to incidents or concerns. Finally, I will hold the University accountable, pushing for their divestment from arms companies.

This year, I hope to foster excitement and interest in Guild events and democracy, especially for those of us who often go unnoticed or unheard.
