Support Zone
Here to support all students
Hi everyone, my name is Leri and I am your VP Support for 2021/22. My role is to lead the support zone which is made of 5 part time officiers (PTOs) and 3 full time union employees. Each of our PTOs have their own projects they want to fullfill.
The support zone does what it says on the tin; it is there to support students and covers a variety of topics including mental health, invisible and visible disabilities, inclusivity and accademic advice (
ussu.advice@surrey.ac.uk).
Have a question? You can reach me at ussu.vpsupport@surrey.ac.uk and I’ll get back to you soon!

What is the Support Zone?
The Support Zone is made up of five Part Time Officers and led by the full time VP and together they ensure that the Union has student support in mind in all its activities.
The Zone is responsible for helping students support students through both Nightline (a listening service) and welfare watch (a service supporting students after nights out in Rubix), as well as Student minds (a service coming soon). The Zone also facilitates open discussions around important but sometime sensitive issues through the Let's Talk campaigns. If you have an issue that is more personal, then the zone also offers some tailored support on a variety of issues including academic advice, housing, personal safety and victim support.
