It’s been too long since my last roundup 📸 and I’m sure you’ve all been waiting to see what I’ve been up too .. it’s been a busy time here in Guild Land

🗳 We had our elections - I’m so excited about the new officer team coming into post in July (and excitingly our wonderful VP liberation and equality will be remaining in the team and leading the President role!). Well done to everyone is involved, and I know we will be leaving the Guild in great hands next year 💟

🏗 I was lucky enough to travel to Boston for an international conference - the main aim here was around some really exciting projects which focus on our physical spaces (a LinkedIn post telling you more about this is coming soon ✍️)

🖥 I met up with an alumnae from when she was helping run a hackathon with and - it was great to see what our students are doing out in the world, and what our students are up to here in Exeter

💐 finally, a little reminder that in between all the studying and writing and working that you’re up to over the spring break, remember to look after your well-being and take some time for yourself too ❤️

This time of year isn’t merry for everyone, so I hope those of you that may be finding this time difficult are able to find some space to relax and to just get through. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, there can be a lot of challenges with this time of year. Know that you’re not alone and this too shall pass, and the days are already getting longer. Be kind to yourself and if you’re able to, look out for others too. If you need support please reach out - people want to help you 💙

I am now out of office (so wont be responding to social media or emails) until January 3rd. If you need support please follow the links in my linktree.

I look forward to seeing you in the new year and seeing what it may bring.

Round Up ✨💜

This week we had a lot of focus on safety!

I went to visit the new Exeter Safe Space in town : this is part of our work to keep all students safe by working with the uni and with the local council. I was there filming for the BBC.
About the Safe Space
📍 St Stephens Church (opposite Urban Outfitters)
🕰️ 11pm-3am on Wed, Fri and Sat
❓ Providing a warm space, medical treatment, people to help you get a taxi, water, somewhere to rest and somewhere to charge your phone
🗣️ Tell your friends about this space!!

Then lots of our great societies signing the pledge on Gender Safety. A Christmas move and a carol concert ❄️🎄

For Day 10 of the 16 Days of Action campaign, we wanted to highlight the support available for members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Intercom Trust are a local LGBTQ+ service who have a dedicated domestic abuse support worker and have also supported many of their service users who will have experience trans and homophobic abuse.

Galop is a national charity that has decades of experience in supporting LGBTQ+ people who are victims of domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, so-called conversion therapies, honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and other forms of abuse.
