Hi there - my name is Max Elvin,

I am the current President (Engagement and Sports) and I am running for re-election to be your new President (Engagement and Sport) 2023/24.

 

What a cracking year it's been! Despite the emergence and crippling impact of the cost of living crisis, I have been able to thrive and build upon the fantastic work of my predecessor (Maddy Young). I have been able to make fantastic headway on the objectives I set out when elected for the 2022/23 role. Here are some of the key items I have achieved this year:

 

  • Increased student satisfaction rates to 90% within sports here at Christ Church - the highest its been in over 3-years (measured by the Student Life Survey)

  • Introduced disability-sporting opportunities (through a workshops / taster sessions)

  • Built upon the relationship between Sports and Societies to make Team Christ Church a more inclusive and welcoming environment

  • Campaigned and held free sporting workshops and events available to all - the ‘I Can Campaign’

  • Cutting event costs in half to make opportunities more accessible during the cost of living crisis

 

My next steps are to continue working to improve student experience, engagement and opportunities by addressing the following:

 

Cost of Living

  • Offer free events throughout the year

  • Offer free sporting opportunities throughout the year

  • Offer educational workshops to address cost-effective eating / cooking (see more below)

Opportunities

  • Introduce free workshops within disability sport

  • Introduce free workshops around healthy eating (including cooking lessons; cost-effective shopping; nutritional guidance)

Wellbeing

  • Re-establish regular wellbeing drop-in sessions (involving free food, fun activities, quiet spaces)

Experience

  • Addressing University timetabling policies to free up more time on Wednesdays - allowing for more participation in sports without sacrificing study commitments

 

While I have listed a series of specific items I would like to address, I would also like to continue working directly with students with areas they would like to address specifically. For any questions regarding my manifesto, please feel free to get in touch!

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this manifesto, I hope to work closely with you in the following year!
