Hi! I’m Roma, and I’m the Chair of the LGBT+ Campaign. It’s my job to ensure the campaign functions smoothly by chairing meetings, setting agendas, running elections, and keeping the campaign in communication with the central SU, other campaigns and organisations within Cambridge and beyond. If anyone has questions about the workings of the campaign please do get in touch, I’d love to hear from you!

Hi, I’m Zac (he/him) and I’m an Undergrad Classicist at Girton College. I’m the Campaign’s Finance Officer so I oversee our budget and spending.
I’m really passionate about making sure that, as an SU Campaign, we put our money into projects that help foster a welcoming and supporting LGBTQ+ Community here in Cambridge.
When I’m not looking at spreadsheets & finance requests, or even a spot of Greek Lyric Poetry, I love watching films (with popcorn) and doing a bit of acting myself. You might also find me writing for The Cambridge Tab every now and again.

Hi everyone! I’m Hanna (she/they) and I’m one of the Zine Editors on the SU LGBT+ Campaign.

Getting involved

The LGBT+ Campaign is a great organisation to get involved in: there is a lot going on from socials to campaign work. You’re welcome to help out organising socials or suggesting and helping with campaigns without holding a position. But if you’re keen to be involved in the LGBT+ Campaign you might want to stand for a committee position. This allows you to be involved in running and shaping the Campaign as well as looking great on your CV.

The committee meets once a week during term time, generally on Saturday afternoons, and the range of positions available means you have lots of choice as to how to get involved. Depending on the time of year you will either stand for election in an open meeting or can be co-opted to vacant positions by either the committee or an open meeting. Feel free to contact the Chair for more information.
