Having completed four years at Edinburgh Napier University studying Music, I am proud to be serving a second term as Co-President for Sport & Wellbeing after being re-elected.
Sport has played a huge role in my time at Napier. I spent four years with the Men's Hockey Club, including a year as Club President, giving me first-hand experience of the opportunities and challenges faced by student sports clubs today.
During my first year in office, sport memberships increased by 14%, alongside improvements in participation and performance across BUCS competition. I have also worked to strengthen relationships between clubs, the University, alumni, and external partners to create new opportunities for students.
My key aims for the year:
- Support the implementation of the University's Sport Strategy and ensure student voice is at its heart.
- Improve access to facilities and opportunities for all students.
- Develop and support student leaders, volunteers, and sports committees.
- Help clubs grow through sponsorship, partnerships, and increased visibility.
- Strengthen student wellbeing initiatives and build on the success of campaigns such as Movember.
- Continue building a stronger Team Napier identity and sporting community.
- Continue to promote mental and physical wellbeing
