Meet your Welfare Reps

Supporting equality, belonging and real change

Your Welfare Reps make sure different student communities at UoG are heard, supported and represented. They’re elected students who understand the day to day pressures of university life and use their voice to push for change on issues that really matter.

They work with Officers, SU staff and Student Council to raise concerns, shape campaigns and improve equality and inclusion across the university. If you identify with one of these communities, your Welfare Rep is here to listen and help move things forward.
