The point of this job is to represent those students with disabilities and push forward changes to make all aspects of university as equally accessible as possible.

I have raised disability awareness through posters and established a weekly column in the Gair Rhydd.
What's next?
I'm planning a sports event in the great hall. Plus I am in the process of trying to establish a poster campaign to illustrate the services offered in the Student Support Centre.
Would you recommend your role? If so, why?
It's a hard role, if you wish to achieve anything, but quite a nice feeling of potential power!
