Students with Disabilities Society
In September 2022 I took on the role of President of the Students with Disabilities Society (often referred to as SWD).
As a society, we want to create a community where students with disabilities can meet others and share their stories. We want to continue raising awareness about disabilities and the impact they have on students. And we want to make sure students with disabilities feel seen, heard, and supported.
As well as having a strong online presence, we will host events regularly throughout the year. Each event will give students the opportunity to get to know other students and have some well deserved fun. Some people can find the idea of joining a society very overwhelming, which is why our events will always be activity-focused - we won't just get everyone into a room and tell them to make friends!

Trophy Award
The Students with Disabilities Society was awarded a GOLD Trophy Award from the Students Union.
The Trophy Awards are an end-of-year award scheme that recognise the accomplishments that student groups have had in the past academic year, and to reward their hard work.
As a society we had to submit evidence of how we had met a range of criteria—this included listening to society members feedback, celebrating success, promoting well-being, being inclusive, and being sustainable. I am proud of this society and all that we have achieved this year, and am so excited about what the future holds.
