As a mature, part-time student, I know how difficult it is for those who don’t fit the typical Cambridge image to engage in student life. The SU must do more to support mature, part-time, disabled, and marginalised students by addressing the issues they care about.
The mental health crisis at Cambridge is systemic. It cannot be treated as an individual issue when racism, sexism, and institutional neglect persist. The SU must push for meaningful change, ensuring student wellbeing is a top priority across the University.
Students are increasingly aware of their societal role, from local activism to global issues. One of the most pressing concerns has been solidarity with Palestine, yet the SU has not done enough to support student campaigning.
Students deserve to be heard, and the SU should be a space for real representation. If elected, I will work with students and staff to promote transparency, justice, and meaningful action on key issues.
If elected, I will fight for better funding, grants over loans, and a system that supports the most vulnerable. Your vote can help show that ordinary people can be elected and make real change. I will be your voice—loud, clear, and impossible to ignore
Cambridge should be for the many, not just the privileged few. Education is a right, and factors such as wealth, class, and connections should not determine access to this institution or leadership roles. Growing up on a council estate, I struggled academically and had to fight to convince the admissions office to give me a chance at higher education.
