Campaigns Committee
What does the committee do?
The Campaigns Committee organises the college welfare campaigns, promoting education, social inclusion, and intersectionality. It forms one half of our Castle Welfare Team (alongside the Welfare Committee), putting on campaigns such as SHAG Week, the Culture Festival, Pride Week and many more! These campaigns often feature key events in the college social calendar, such as the 'SHAG Party' (in our college bar), Culture and Pride formals, and many more events to get involved with!
The Campaigns Committee is chaired by the JCR Campaigns Officer and is made up of 3 assistants and 7 Community Officers (LGBTQ+, Ethnic Minorities, Northern, Disabilities, Working Class and International Officers, and our Accommodation Representative).
How can I get involved?
It's easy to get involved with the Campaigns Committee and the events we organise!
The events organised by the committee are open to all! In the past, these have included BSL Workshops, Chinese Tea Tasting Ceremonies, Movie Nights and Visits to York Christmas Market. Some require you to reserve a spot (such as themed formals or day trips), but often you can just show up! Anything we organise will be advertised on Instagram (@castlewelfare) and on the Castle Freshers Facebook group.
Applications to join the committee as an Assistant or Community Officer usually come out at the end of the year, however, we'll be seeking to fill the roles of Ethnic Minorities Officer and Disabilities Officer from the start of Michaelmas 2024!
