Minty Fresh over and out 💚!!!!
The Guild is just great and so are it’s members, so it’s been a real privilege to represent you all. Thank you to everyone whose supported me in this past year as your Welfare and Community Officer 2020/21.
'When I started the role, I had little knowledge of how the Guild and the University was run, but luckily I had a fantastically supportive network to answer my never-ending list of questions.'

Toilets available to take the test in the Guild and return to the staff at the stand to save you sending the results yourself.
