Taking part in the RAG Charity Day cemented my desire to join the Committee. It was an amazing experience to support people through volunteering and to be part of a group dedicated to making a positive difference to the wider community. The RAG society creates lasting connections and friendships in the ICSM, which is a valuable part of being at university. I love the way RAG events like the Fashion Show allow people bond over having fun, as well as raising money for charity.
Before I came to Imperial, I volunteered at my local food bank and could see how important it was to be involved in working together to raise money and to support people who were going through a difficult time in their lives.
Being a regular Sports Night attendee means that I can liaise across the different sports teams to help organise sports-related RAG events. Furthermore, when I was at sixth form, I was President of the Feminist Society, where I organised meetings and came up with different (and original!) ideas for events. I think it’s important to make sure that people feel involved and listened to. These experiences have helped to give me an overview of how to work effectively as part of a committee.
I also genuinely care about helping people and would love to join a society that feels the same!
