Hate increased to 100% after Brexit Getting ideas towards its actualisation A submission was made to the PCC Police & Crime plan Help to change the community culture with a focus on relationships between neighbours in order to reduce the hate.

USSU Executive Officer Priority Report Name Harry Chirnside Position VP Community & Events Date 30/10/2016 Priority (What) Justification (Why) Status/Actions Taken Measurement (Impact) Equality & Diversity With the current restructure to the institute and immediate cuts, I want to ensure that the University sustains it’s level of E & D Lobbied University to under carry signage work to replace all accessible toilets with ‘Inclusive’ toilet signs. Received reply from Facilities and they agreed that this is something that will take place this year (2016/2017) Sustainable commercial platform for SU Events/Profitable margins Because we do not currently hold a commercial platform or model which outlines our strategies for the year. Collaborating with marketing/comms/line manager/events to structurise an annual model initial meeting took place followed by a scheduled second meeting to start putting model in place Volunteering / opportunities incentive Our Volunteers are fantastic. However, we seem to lose a lot after Freshers. Created a platform system for rewards and recognition (10/30/50hr) Students will feel more appreciated and enthusiastic about volunteering
Putting in place more incentives could attract a longer attendance Create sustainable commercial events Because the SU should be a competing with businesses in the City Centre, especially since we do not own our own social space/venue Ministry of Sound Freshers Rave took place in October, with over 600 attendees, we plan to organise more commercialised events for the evening. Student participation, social media interaction and the level of social interaction has increased significantly. Tackling Hate Crime Because since brexit, SC reported an increase of hate crime reporting by 105%. This is totally unacceptable Work alongside local communities and the council and working on ways we can collectively tackle hate crime. Keeping hate crime off our campuses and out of our communities.
