Fundraising and
Outreach Convenor

REBECCA BLAIR
My role on council consists of 2 parts. My
first responsibility is to raise funds for both
GUSA and for our chosen charity of the
year - this year is Rape Crisis Scotland.
Secondly, I am responsible for encouraging
GUSA to get involved with and help the
outside community in Glasgow, whether it
be through sport or other means. This year
we are hoping to provide weekly training
sessions for the outreach charity FARE (Family Action in Rogerfield
and Easterhouse) along with helping CHAS (Children's Hospices
Across Scotland) with their fundraising and campaign work. I am also
here to support any clubs who want to individually fundraise or get
involved in outreach projects themselves. I am really looking forward to
creating different fundraising events and getting involved in the
community around Glasgow. I have been a Freshers Helper for the
past two years and it has definitely been one of the best experiences at
university. My advise to new students would be to give everything a
chance. GUSA provides such a wide variety of different sports that you
are able to try out at the taster sessions where you are bound to find at
least one sport you love. Getting involved in sports allows you to make
loads of new friends along with keeping you active and involved in
university life.
