George Offer is the former President of Halifax and dealt with services, events and welfare provision in his role. He achieved an 80% satisfaction rate in Halifax, up on 40% from 2011 and worked with the York University Families Network, based in Halifax, subsidising small events, days out and more. If elected as Welfare Officer, his aims include increasing the welfare provisions in line with the student population. He says students deserve 24 hour staffing in all colleges, and believes in the need for re-development of cramped, out of date accommodation on Hes West. He wants to set up a campaigns network to better coordinate, publicise and increase effectiveness of campaigns at York. He thinks students deserve value for money and simple, easy access to decent housing, and says the University should extend its guarantor service to all students, where appropriate. If elected, he will work with City Of York Council to bring in an accreditation scheme for all student housing and wants to see an annual University Housing Fair, with property agencies, landlords, University accommodation services, and student support services to help in, and ease house hunting. On the health front, George says students deserve a Health Centre and Student Support Centre capable to deal with the needs of everyone, and he believes together we can remove the stigma from mental health. He wants to help improve the health centre by focusing on opening times and the length of time that people wait, as well as having more of a YUSU presence on Heslington East. He wants to start an annual housing fair, set up a campaigns network to increase effectiveness in campaigns at uni, introduce compulsory supervisor training for all new supervisors, and work with security and police to improve campus security.
