City Campus Officer

Eden Edge (she/her)

Eden's Manifesto

1. Establish a "Hardship Creative Materials Grant"

Campaign for a dedicated fund for students who need financial support to access high-cost materials for their course.

2. Community & Social Life

Bower Ashton Socials: Fight for a dedicated SU budget to host regular non-alcoholic and alcohol-inclusive evening events (like open mics, quiz nights) right on campus so City Campus students don't have to travel to Frenchay for SU night life.
Later opening hours: It's not fair that the SU bar on Frenchay stays open late, especially when after 6 on Bower means no options for food or drinks outside of vending machines. I will try my hardest to expand these options and give fellow students more places to relax after lessons.
More Societies at Bower: I will campaign for societies to host more events on Bower Ashton.

3. Better Transport

Direct Bus Links: Campaign for higher frequency buses from City Campus sites and for direct bus links connecting Bower Ashton to Frenchay and Glenside.
Lighting: As the Winter months roll in, the street lighting around Bower Ashton could almost certainly be improved. I will try my hardest to lobby to fix this.

City Campus is the creative heart of UWE, and you deserve a Student's Union that meets your needs and supports your course and future career. I promise to listen to all City Campus students, and always listen to any ideas you suggest.
