Darren Cassidy

What I hope to bring to the board is my perspective as a Health and Social Care student, one grounded in equality and driven by a passion to create positive changes in the everyday lives of every individual. Ultimately, my goal is to keep the Union moving in the right direction and to ensure that the student perspective remains at the heart of its strategy for all of us.

Andy Winter

I was keen to become a trustee to provide support to student leaders and ensure that the Union helps the University to provide the best possible experience of higher education. As someone who was first in my family to attend university, I am passionate about the transformative power of the university experience and the crucial role SUs play in this.
