As the Chair of the society, my principal purpose is to provide strategy, direction and leadership for the Exec’s time in office. This means chairing our weekly Exec meetings and being part of the organisation for all our events, as well as implementing new ideas and points of focus to evolve Warwick Labour. It is my job to stay involved in every aspect of what we do and give my team the help they need to carry out their work, from our political work and campaigns to our socials and sports events, with a focus on creating a welcoming left-wing space that makes an impact.

As Deputy Chair I’m here to support the Chair and wider society, supporting governance, and decision making, serving as a spokesperson for wider exec and members of the society, occasionally stepping in when the Chair is unavailable.
As one half of the Charities & Welfare duo, I help organise events to fundraise and bring awareness to good causes, often looking for charities which align with our values. Once a week we will hold a welfare hour, it is in this and the role itself we strive to make this a welcoming, friendly society with chances for people to talk to us about anything.
Tying these roles together, as women’s officer I wish to build on creating a welcoming community through ensuring everyones voice is heard, particularly those of women who are often overlooked in politics.As Deputy Chair I’m here to support the Chair and wider society, supporting governance, and decision making, serving as a spokesperson for wider exec and members of the society, occasionally stepping in when the Chair is unavailable.
