After waving a tearful goodbye to the previous Officers after an amazing year, it’s time to welcome in next year’s team to pick up where they left off.

Our former VP Education Sabrina has moved up to President, and we welcome four fresh new faces in the form of new Comms Officer Emma Denny; Education Officer Charlotte Jackson; Wellbeing Officer Lianne Hunter; and Activities Officer Dilara Changis.

We wanted to find out a bit more about them, so we sat them all down for a nice cup of tea and a chat and asked them a few pressing questions...
