I am Megan, an approachable third year Sociology, Social Policy and Crime student and I am thrilled to be running for Food Run Coordinator this year. Having been involved with Homed for the past two years, participating in food runs, hostel visits and attending socials, I feel I am well-equipped to take the next step and lead the food runs. I have also volunteered for three years at my local soup kitchen, giving me lots of experience in interacting with those who are sleeping on the streets and a drive to continue to help in this way. Being on the Sociology and Criminology Society committee last year reflects my organisational and collaboration skills and I am excited to be an active member of a committee again, especially to work with the other Food Run Coordinator.

As a Food Run Coordinator, I am keen to bring my friendly and enthusiastic attitude to this position, making sure all volunteers feel safe and comfortable, as well as those we are serving. I will announce sandwich runs in batches so the slots do not fill up all at once and release them a week in advance, so volunteers can plan ahead. I feel really passionately about helping and seeing those who are often overlooked and forgotten, therefore believe I will be a great fit as a Food Run Coordinator.
